Experiential Learning Management

Manage experiential learning in one place: APL nextED’s Site-Based Learning Module

APL nextED’s integrated experiential learning management module streamlines workflows and brings students, supervisors, affiliate organizations and program directors together to collaborate. These features ensure legal, programmatic, and institutional accreditation compliance and documentation to reduce liability exposure and make reporting easy.

As schools respond to greater demand for experiential learning and professional programs, providing a single place to navigate processes like assignments, applications, affiliation agreements, compliance reporting, and program requirements is an important part of ensuring a positive experience for all stakeholders.
