This document describes applied learning, which includes developing knowledge through research and academic materials, processing knowledge through peer interactions and feedback, and experiencing real-world applications. Knowledge development uses data, articles, videos and learner research. Processing occurs with a coach and peer team through feedback and assessments. Experiencing is completing a long-term project to apply the knowledge in a real-world setting, which distinguishes applied learning from a classroom.

Your experience here is based on Applied Learning. This style of learning is highly effective in online learning and
with the nonprofit sector leaders who enter into the incubator. It includes academic development of knowledge;
processing knowledge through interactive opportunities within a peer group; and then applying the resulting
learned and processed information to experiences in real world situations.

Processing of knowledge attained happens with your coach, as well as in your monthly team interactions. Your
coach and your team will provide valuable feedback resulting in deeper thinking about issues, questions and
opportunities.
Processing also will occur with segment quizzes and monthly exit assessments in your classroom.

Experiencing
Experiencing is the core of the Applied Learning process and is what differentiates this type of learning from a
college classroom or a seminar and workshop.
During your time in the incubator, your experiences will be developed in the framework of a LONG TERM PROJECT
