W231: Building a Bridge to LivLab
The CEG team reached out to faculty and students to build the bridge between W231 and The Living Lab. Part of this bridge was adding transparency and awareness of Project-Based Learning at IUPUI, like the curriculum used in W231 and The LivLab, and exploring ways that students and faculty could advocate for engaged learning opportunities between courses.

W231 FACULTY SURVEY
Affirming PBL Curricular Parity Across All
W231 Sections to Support an Application for W231's Inclusion on The Record
One aspect of the CEG was to explore the possibility that W231 could be added to The Record. To verify that there was curricular consistency and alignment across W231 sections, faculty teaching W231 were surveyed. The survey results helped support Oesch-Minor's application to add the class to The Record. W231 was approved Spring 2022.
​
-
320 Fall 2021 students who completed W231 with a C or higher were retroactively added to The Record.
-
290 Spring 2022 students who completed W231 with a C or higher will be added to The Record.

DID YOU LIKE HAVING an ePORTFOLIO option to share your assignments?
"I really like having the online option. It felt more clean and easy to access."
"A lot of things revolve around digital work so this was a good learning curve for people who aren't used to it."
​
"I thought it [the ePortfolio] was very relevant given the increasing reliance on technology to have this skill under my belt, even if it's just at a basic level."
