Hello all,
I am hoping to identify panelists for a discussion session to be submitted to the either the NCA Experiential Learning or Group Communication Division on the role of experiential learning in the group communication course. Specifically I am interested in the strategic use of experiential education in various forms (active learning, service learning, project-based, etc.) as a means of building CONNECTION among group members and between student experience and group theory/knowledge in an academic class. How might we utilize the power of experiential learning to enhance Consciousness Raising and explore Symbolic Convergence, etc. ? What experiential techniques and strategies have you found to enhance your students' appreciation of and learning within the group communication course? In a time when desire for human connection often seems to be dwindling and yet computer mediated group development may be more important than ever, how can we/should we continue to utilize and model!
experiential learning in the group context?
If you are interested, please email me your name, affiliation and a description of no more than 75 words explaining your interest in the topic- Jessica D. McCall, UNCG, jedelk@uncg.edu. I will look forward to hearing your ideas and hopefully working with you.
