Exploring Experiential Education in the Online Learning Environment

Research indicates that experiential learning enhances learning and increases student engagement. As online education in higher education increases, incorporating experiential learning into the online experience has been occurring. For this case study, interviews with five online instructional designers and three online instructors examined answers to the questions of how online instructional designers and online instructors define, value, and design experiential learning in their online courses. Insights regarding the benefits and challenges of designing online experiential learning are discussed. Online instructional designers discussed coaching online instructors through the process of designing experiential learning for their online courses. Online instructors expressed that they have only begun to identify ways to design experiential education into the online environment. This research provides insight into how online instructional designers and online instructors feel about how they have integrated experiential learning into online courses. They are creatively working together to provide more experiential learning activities in the online environment and bringing the world to their students through online education.
