While there is increasing pressure to justify and quantify these experiences, we remain faced with the challenge of ensuring that a demonstration of breadth does not distract from the importance of meaningful depth both in andfor student learning. This paper presents a potential reframing of conversations about experiential education and emphasizes the role of high impact practices (HIPs) in defining EE as more than an experience. The value, purpose, and challenges of integrating reflection into these experiences is highlighted through the lens ofthe defining characteristics of HIPs, supporting the development of meaningful, engaging opportunities for deeper learning.  \nLa définition de l’enseignement fondé sur l’expérience (EE) est importante à la fois pour l’aspect pédagogique et pour l’aspect pratique de l’enseignement supérieur. Même si de plus en plus de voix réclament une clarification et une quantification de ce type d’expérience, la difficulté demeure la même : en démontrant l’étendue del’expérience, ilfaut se garder de négliger la profondeur de l’apprentissage, qui est importante et chargée de sens. Dans notre article, nous proposons une avenue possible pour déplacer la conversation au sujet de l’enseignement fondé sur l’expérience en mettant l’accent sur le rôle despratiques à incidence élevée dans l’EE conçu comme une notion dépassant celle d’expérience. Pour comprendre quelle valeur, quel but et quelles difficultés émergent de l’intégration de la réflexion à l’expérience, nous observons les choses à partir des traits caractéristiques des pratiques à incidence élevée de manière à rassembler les conditions pour un apprentissage en profondeur motivantet enrichissant.  \nExperiential  \nexperiential  \neducation (EE), also known as learning (Kolb, 1984) or narrowed  \nto work-integrated learning (WIL), is challenging to define for many academic programs as they strive to facilitate authentic opportunities for student learning, while also needing to demonstrate alignment with institutional priorities. In the current accountability climate, it is equally important for many institutions to report on the number of EE opportunities offered  \nto students while taking concrete steps to provide high quality educational opportunities.  \nA common strategy to address this challenge has been to identify occurrences of EE by the experience itself (e.g., lab, internship, community service) . While these experiences offer an opportunity for meaningful experiential learning to occur, a new challenge arises when we attempt to define EE based on the experience alone. At institutions across Ontario, lists of activities that  \nqualify as EE are generated and categorized on a differing basis. These may include obvious categories of activities such as work-integrated learning (e.g., an internship or a practicum) and community-based activities (e.g., service learning) . Less commonly included are co-curricular activities, such as studentled initiatives at Brock University (see Appendix A), and classroom centric activities at York University (see Appendix B), such as a project, a lab, or a guest speaker. A strict focus on the workplace, aligning explicitly with government directives, is used at the University of Guelph (see  \n[https://www.uoguelph.ca/experientiallearning/abo](https://www.uoguelph.ca/experientiallearning/abo)[ut-el/experiential-learning-university-guelph](ut-el/experiential-learning-university-guelph) ) .  \nA narrow focus on work-integrated learning is restricting, yet the all-encompassing classroom category highlights the awkwardness that comes with defining EE by experience type. There is nothing intrinsically experiential about the use of visual media (e.g., at York","cbCairMPB5Oiwytp","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCairMPB5Oiwytp","pdf",896590,"English","# Experiential education and its defining challenge\n## Accountability and reporting pressures\n## Defining EE by experience type vs. reflection and HIPs\n# Integrating reflection for deeper learning\n## Value, purpose, and implementation challenges","[{\"question\":\"Why is experiential education difficult to define for academic programs?\",\"answer\":\"It must both provide authentic learning opportunities and demonstrate alignment with institutional priorities, while also being reported and quantified in an accountability environment.\"},{\"question\":\"What problem arises when EE is defined based on the experience itself?\",\"answer\":\"A narrow focus can restrict what counts as EE and overlook that many settings (e.g., visual media or guest speakers) are not intrinsically experiential without considering what the experience consists of.\"},{\"question\":\"How do high impact practices (HIPs) change the conversation about EE?\",\"answer\":\"They frame EE as more than an experience by emphasizing reflection as a critical component and highlighting characteristics that guide instructors toward meaningful, deeper learning.\"}]","Guiding a Meaningful Experiential Learning Journey by Making It HIP Again | PDF",1792088335,48]
