Experiential Learning
Placement Management Made Easy
Learning through experience and reflecting upon participation only comes when the student is in the opportune environment. Our Experiential Learning tool helps you navigate the management challenges of placing dozens or hundreds of students into the correct learning locations to ensure they get the necessary experience to further their education. As part of the Chalk & Wire ePortfolio toolset, Experiential Learning allows you to take advantage of customizable stakeholder roles, or submission suggestions from students, to make sure they are on the best possible learning track.
