Your guide to understanding experiential education through community voices

Welcome! Let's Learn

The Clearinghouse Information Project (CHIP) is a volunteer-driven effort by educators and practitioners in the Experiential Education (EE) community. Each guest editor contributed a one-page summary and resource list on key EE topics.  

Topics include:

• Consumer questions about EE programs.
• Public FAQs about EE.
• Guidance for EE providers.

Each one-page summary outlines the topic and presents key evidence, opinion by the volunteer author(s), and sustaining content regarding that topic.  The list of further resources includes recommended items to consult in order to gain a better understanding beyond the summary, such as reading books or articles and looking at websites or videos.

This project does not claim to be a comprehensive, global or complete picture of every aspect of Experiential Education (EE). This project is entirely volunteer-driven, and each one-page summary and the supporting further resources have been written and curated by individuals who have contributed to each topic. We know this does not include all voices and stories in the EE community, and if you wish to offer a topic of contribution for this project, or if you have feedback or would like to request changes, please contact us. This is an evolving body of work intended for future community collaboration.

If you appreciate this free information, then please consider joining us as an AEE member, volunteering on future projects, or donating to the EE community.
