This event is part of the 2025 Celebrate Learning Week, taking place from May 5 – 9, 2025.

Join us for an insightful session on transformative practices in experiential education at UBC Okanagan. Discover how the redesign of the Co-op Work Experience course cultivates deeper student learning through enhanced reflective practices, effective assessment, and curriculum that empowers student agency, fostering personal and professional growth. This session highlights the impact of student consultation and the collaborative efforts with the Centre for Teaching and Learning (CTL) and the Centre for Teaching, Learning, and Technology (CTLT) in creating curriculum that strengthens the connection between classroom learning and practical application.
