Are you interested in bringing experiential learning into your courses? Join this webinar with Riipen to learn about Lakehead University's new experiential learning partnership, and how you can get support to bring external partners into in-class projects.

Riipen is the world's leading virtual project-based learning platform that connects university and college students to organizations (both for-profit and not-for-profit) through customizable online experiential learning that complements traditional co-ops and internships. Based in Vancouver and Toronto, Riipen offers experiential learning across North America; in 2017, Riipen connected 12,000 students to organizations to work on curricular-based projects in areas including finance, human resources, consulting, supply chain management, and more.

In this virtual session, we'll provide background information on how Riipen supports experiential learning, a brief overview of the online platform that facilitates this, subject-specific examples, and leave time for questions and feedback.
