Designing and Implementing Experiential Learning Through Multimedia-Based Activities and Blogging in Asynchronous Online Courses

Abstract

This presentation will discuss the design and implementation of experiential learning for students enrolled in asynchronous online course. Presenters, an instructor of the course, and an instructional designer will share how they designed experiential learning through Blackboard Learn and WordPress. Presenters will show how students got actively involved in the experience of writing critical reviews for a real audience. Then, presenters will describe how students reflected on their own experiences of writing critical reviews through active online discussions and peer reviews and show examples of how students in this course were involved in decision-making activities while using new ideas gained from going to art exhibits, live performances, or watching movies/TV shows.
