Information about Residential Learning Environments

"Situated cognition"

Situated cognition or situational learning are learning experiences using intentional social interactions and human artifacts to generate cognitive fields based on interdisciplinary principles. These "beyond classroom" settings stimulate learning by engineering different life spaces. The list below includes residence hall settings using two modes of transformative learning experiences: reflective (intension) and active (extension) interaction. Students learn while passing by, socializing, studying, attending meetings and programs, dining, and simply living in our facilities.

We encourage our visitors to learn more about the variety of transformative learning environments that we sponsor.
