Extensions: Approaches for making connections between academia and work

Chapter 2 includes a brief overview of the main educational approaches that are used to help students make connections between academic study and workplace performance: simulations, role plays, case-based learning, problem-based learning, inquiry-based learning, internships, reflective practice, communities of practice, etc. Our colleague George Hatsidimitris created a nice re-interpretation of the schema of these approaches also insightfully extended it with one element “communication technologies”.  Indeed, communication technologies could help create a hybrid space for linking the lecture hall and workplace. Thank you George.
