LEARNING EXPERIENCE REINFORCED

Because students may learn in a wide variety of settings and ways, the growing use of the term learning experience reflects larger shifts that have occurred in the delivery of education to the expected clientele e.g. students.

It is most likely represents an attempt to update conceptions of how, when and where learning does and can take place.

Learning experience refers to any interactions, course, program and other experience in which learning takes places, whether it occurs in traditional academic settings (schools ,classrooms) or non-traditional settings (outside school, outdoor environment). Let us not forget the traditional educational interactions (students learning from teachers) or non-traditional interactions (students learning through games and interactive applications).

New technologies have dramatically multiplied and diversified the ways in which students can learn from and interact with teachers and classmates. Students now in our school can email their assignments for example to their teachers, can even chat or have video presentations to organize and exchange learning on their own time at their own pace and even without supervision from their teachers sometimes.

Students can also watch videos created by their teachers or other classmates, conduct online research to learn more about a concept.

Among countless other possibilities, students are now learning in different ways than they have in the past.
