Experiential Learning
The Teaching and Learning Commons' Experiential Learning team focuses on centering "learning by doing", with both programs and tools while also elevating experiential learning across campus as a whole.
The programs our team oversees include Academic Internship Programs (AIP) and UC Washington (UCDC). The Co-Curricular Record (CCR) and the Research Experience and Applied Learning or REAL Portal are tools that our team manages.
