• In Event: Instructional strategies and learner engagement

Short Description

This qualitative, phenomenological study describes how participating in the International Society for Performance Improvement (ISPI) Case Study competition influenced student learning through authentic learning experiences. The lived-experiences of the students are examined to gain insights into the benefits of having the instructional opportunity to apply previously obtained knowledge and skills to a simulated, yet authentic, work environment. Detailed descriptions are presented on how these authentic learning experiences impacted the students, both academically and professionally.
