Abstract

Ana-Paula Correia offers a case study of an experiential e-learning pedagogy used in one of this program's distance courses. This graduate course in instructional design brought experiential learning into an e-learning community by asking students to apply knowledge and skills to real-world instructional design projects. Correia explores how the connection of online learning activities with real-world instructional needs helped prepare students to face the challenges of the real workplace beyond the virtual classroom. (Contains 7 exhibits and 1 note.)
