M.A. in Higher Education Leadership: Action Research Projects
As a higher education professional, I seek to use creative programming to encourage the exploration of alternative learning opportunities and to enhance student success.

Evaluating The Influence Of Venue On Experiential, Project-Based Learning, Wayne Aho, Ed Wright, Jon Marvel
International Journal for Business Education
Experiential, project-based learning is widely endorsed as an effective pedagogy for enhancing the understanding of theory, increasing critical thinking skills, and preparing students for future roles as contributing employees.

In this study, comparisons are made between online and face-to-face classes of a project-based, strategic management course at a regional university. No statistically significant differences were found in the course …

The model incorporates service and experiential learning while engaging the occupational therapy program and faculty educators in the community. The SELTEC model utilizes the student, educational system, and community to promote a service relationship to provide …
