From Training to Learning: Developing Student Employees Through Experiential Learning Design

H. Bussell, J. Hagman

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

In this chapter, the authors argue for moving student employee training programs beyond a sole focus on training students for effective service, to training based on experiential learning principles. The authors describe the development of an experiential approach for two student positions in the Ohio University Libraries' social media and video production work. The chapter concludes with a discussion of the challenges in this approach, and addresses issues of scaling the model to larger student employment programs.
