Description
According to Neal Lerner, laboratory learning is “a clarion call for hands-on learning and social interaction among students with each other and collectively among faculty and staff and students” (The Idea of a Writing Laboratory). Laboratory learning, within and outside the classroom, provides a frame for the good work of higher education. If we act now, if we accept the concept of kairos, we will do more than help our current students. We will be sustaining higher education for the future. We will be a laboratory experiment that works–for students, for faculty, for staff, and in the larger higher education community.
