Glossary definition

An active and experiential learning technique, the field visit involves students learning in a site other than the classroom.
Such sites can be nominated by the course coordinator or, alternately, selected by the student as a creative exercise.
The field visit assessment is an opportunity to enhance comprehension by reinforcing concepts that have already been learned in the classroom, and to provide students with the ability to learn by experiencing instead of just passively listening to information being taught.
The assessment can take the form of a report on the field visit addressing a line of inquiry related to course content.
