Listen Later

Today I speak with Bill Heinrich. Bill is the Director for Mindset at Orbis Communications

Bill holds a BA from Northern Illinois University, a MA in student affairs administration and a PhD in Higher Education Administration from Michigan State.

Paul loves being outdoors and spent some of his early career as a ski and mountain bike instructor before making his way into Higher Education. He honed his talents at UC Santa Cruz before moving onto Michigan State University where he applied his mind to assessment and experiential learning at the Universities hub for innovation in learning and technology.

Bill is particularly knowledgeable about high impact and experiential learning practices as well as adventure, field, place-based, and outdoor learning experiences most notably in Higher Education.

Bill and I discuss:

  • Work Integrated Learning (WIL), co-ops and internships
  • Assessment, interdisciplinary and experiential learning
  • EdTech and contemporary learning design
  • Tracking and evaluating where learning happens
  • Student feedback and repeatable patterns in student data
  • Data privacy
  • High impact learning practices
  • Online proctoring and authentic assessment
  • 'Scale' in the learning equation
  • The 60 year curriculum ... and much more
  • For a good read on some of these topics, pleaser read "Who Coaches the Coaches? The Development of a Coaching Model for Experiential Learning" where Bill is a Co-Author.
