Blended High Impact Experiential Learning (BHIEL)

Student affairs professionals must find ways to engage and educate students using emerging tools with established theory. Blended high impact experiential learning (BHIEL) combines traditional face-to-face instruction with digital media and high impact experiential activities in order to create a student-centered learning environment. This session examines how one school’s student staff training program used BHIEL to creatively meet learning outcomes; engage students; and develop student leaders using free online educational resources. Outcomes and future applications are discussed.
