Experiential Learning-Way Ahead

Dr.Samir Kale

Work Integrated Learning Program Division

Birla Institute of Technology & Science, Pilani.
 Past year performance

• Experiential learning has been implemented in ET, MT, MM, QM, DE and AE.
• 46 out of the total 94 courses are selected for experiential learning and a handout developed for each
one of them.
• 35 virtual labs, 4 remote labs and 20 simulation games.
• We have 16 simulation tools (please refer annexure for details)
• We have 24 lab instructors trained to handle labs across locations (please refer annexure for details).
• We have developed 70 simulation capsules (please refer annexure for complete list).
• In the current semester 3894 students registered in virtual lab courses across 6 programs, 36
courses and 9 locations. Out of this, 3532 (91%) students have successfully submitted their lab
assignments.
• In the current semester 944 students registered in remote lab courses across 3 programs, 6 courses
and 6 locations. Out of this, 815 (86%) students have successfully submitted their lab assignments.
• 433 students so far have rated the virtual lab experience as 3.9 over 5.0 & 732 students have rated
remote lab experience as 4.06 out of 5.0
Organization
• New lab creation under the guidance of TGL
• Simulation capsule content development
• Lab instruction (3 labs / semester)

Quality- Labs Discussion

Academic Initiatives

• Implementing Work Integrated Learning Exercises.

• Developing additional simulation capsules for better course coverage.
• Improving the alignment between theory and lab.
• Standardising instruction delivery and assessment system.
• Integrating lab instruction with instruction division.
• Implementing a formal lab instructor development program.
• Assessing scientifically if the labs really build ‘organisational problem solving
skills

Administrative initiatives:
• Streamlining the process of lab content development and adoption.
• Improving lab utilisation.
• Streamlining the licensing & hosting model.
• Creating an analytics dashboard to assess and improve the processes.
• Exploring possibility of opening the labs for students outside BITS Pilani.
