Work Integrated Learning Open Module Initiative

This comprehensive set of 31 open access, learner-centered modules supports WIL preparedness among post-secondary students.

Work Integrated Learning (WIL) has become a core element of post-secondary instruction and a crucial means by which applied and experiential learning is infused into curriculum in highly meaningful and professionally relevant ways.

These modules are grounded in The Higher Education Quality Council of Ontario’s (HEQCO) A Practical Guide for Work Integrated Learning and represent over 35 hours of rich content that can be used by faculty, career-services staff, and employers to support student learning in applied and work-integrated settings.  The modules, licensed under the Creative Commons (CC BY NC 4.0), may be packaged together to create an online course, substantial units of a course, or to supplement WIL experiences within other courses.

 

 Project Partners

The WIL Open Module Initiative is the result of a collaboration between Niagara College, Georgian College, Algonquin College, and Lambton College.  Module production was completed by kylemackie.ca.

 Project Funding

Funding for the development of the WIL Open Modules was provided by the province of Ontario, via eCampusOntario.
