Handout: Creating Powerful Learning Experiences

by Sylvia Currie -
Creating Powerful Learning Experiences: Possibilities, Pitfalls and Promising Practices

This is a handout prepared by Doug Hamilton for a workshop at University of Northern British Columbia's Teaching and Learning Conference, August 27, 2008. It is organized like a workbook, and would be useful for developing your own workshop on authentic learning and assessment at your institutions.
