EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING

TWU’s Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP), Pioneering Pathways: Learn by Doing, is a five-year plan designed to enhance and engage student learning through hands-on, experiential learning. TWU Technology collaborated with QEP director, Dr. Kimberly Miloch, to advance the online QEP application in which faculty and students log learning experiences. As a simple, all-inclusive resource, the QEP system gives students, faculty, and staff mentors a centralized online area to answer QEP questionnaires and provide feedback about QEP courses and projects.

“The staff listened to our needs and worked diligently to create an ideal system. The system has streamlined our assessments and is much more user-friendly to both students and faculty.” -Dr. Kimberly Miloch, QEP director and associate dean, College of Health Sciences

In addition to courses, projects are now included as qualifying experiences, allowing students to reflect upon group activities that connect real-world experiences to academic theories. The new QEP system also features a robust administrative portal, a more user-friendly questionnaire environment, mobile accessibility, and faculty reporting flexibility.
