![]() It is possible to provide hands-on learning in an online environment. My hope is that other educators see this too. It’s about grounding lessons in reality and equipping students with the skills needed to tackle today’s and tomorrow’s most pressing issues. With the “Diagnosis”-inspired assignments, simulators and an ability to connect students with people on the front lines of their industry, I now know that hands-on learning isn’t exclusively about tangibility. And even better, they now have a professional connection they can return to when they’re ready to take on an internship, apprenticeship or job shadow experience. Hearing from someone with substantial experience made what my students were learning feel all the more real. They talked to my students about what’s going on in their field, what their day-to-day work involves, and the skills students will need if they want to pursue a job in that industry. I brought in industry experts from all over the place - a firefighter and EMT, nurse, and X-ray technician. ![]()
