The Student Experience Lab is working with Pleasant View Elementary School to help facilitate the school's transformation into a blended learning environment. With our expertise in educational transformation that draws heavily on engagement, human-centered design, and digital storytelling, the Lab will be working with Pleasant View to put their whole school model into action and use our tools and capabilities to facilitate the process.
To accelerate the understanding of the secondary school experience, the Lab, in partnership with the Rhode Island Department of Education, brought forty students, ages 13 -22, together to share their experiences and brainstorm novel ideas for innovation in education.
What if we put students in the driver’s seat of a new kind of R&D to transform higher education? One that provided a platform for engaging students more fully in a real world effort that also involved faculty, and university administrators? Could we improve a student’s education experience? Yes. Could we take it a step further and transform higher education itself? Yes.
The Student Experience Lab partnered with the College Board to better understand and develop opportunities to enhance the educational experiences of young men of color. By engaging young male Asian American/Pacific Islanders, African Americans, Hispanic/Latinos, and Native Americans directly to understand how they view their experiences, we add their important voice to the innovation discussion of how to better meet their needs, improve their experience and lead them toward degree attainment.
In 2009, the Lab conducted primary research to understand and digitally document the educational experiences of students nationwide. Nine major themes were revealed that affect student performance. These themes span demographics, geography, school and student-type and serve as a catalyst of opportunity identification and experimentation to improve student outcome.
