Publish an Experience in the EIH
Enhance learning with Reflection and portfolios
The EIH is a centralized platform that helps students discover, track, and reflect on curricular, co-curricular and extra-curricular experiential education (EE) and student involvement opportunities.
The EIH links students’ participation to core competencies and learning outcomes. This makes it a powerful tool for faculty and staff to enhance the impact of experiential learning. Through the platform, students are guided to reflect on their experiences and articulate the skills they’ve developed. These prompted reflections bridge their academic and non-academic involvement.
Students can also build a personalized Experience & Involvement Portfolio (EIP). Portfolios are an evolving record of learning. Students might use it to document their growth, achievements or readiness—whether it’s for employment, graduate studies, or other post-degree goals.
