3.4 Experience Based Learning (OpenEd Academy)

Along with selecting from the wide range of educational resources available through OpenEd Academy's marketplace, you also have the option to include an experience based learning opportunity to qualify for credit on your student's official transcript. 

What Is Experienced Based Learning?

The umbrella of experience based learning encompasses a large variety of enriching, hands-on activities.

Your student's learning experience could be, for example, a semester-long internship or a weekly music class.

(To accurately reflect the rigor and intensity of the experience, you can choose to submit a 1 credit, 0.5 credit, or 0.25 credit experience based learning request through the marketplace.) 

Some learning experiences that OpenEd Academy students have pursued for credit: 

• Piano lessons

• Ballet class

• Martial arts training

• Participation in a theater production 

• Swim team

• Aerial silks class
