Season 1 Episode 3. March 2021: Beyond the Screen with Experiential Assignments

In this episode, we share the stories of several faculty and students who have engaged with experiential assignments. We focused particularly on learning activities that required students to get away from their screens and interact with the physical world around them—wherever that may be.
