Adventure Learning

Adventure learning is a way to blend authentic learning experiences, usually based on experiential and inquiry based learning. Using expert-learner collaboration, learners are encouraged to participate in synchronous digitally created adventures.


It’s the adventure that captivates the students. The students are enthralled with feeling as if they are part of the experience.
