Purdue University Teams Up With EduSourced For Experiential Learning Initiative

By

Purdue University will team up with EduSourced, a software platform, to streamline its experiential learning initiative, school officials announced.

The school's Krannert School of Management recently selected Columbus-based software company EduSourced to support its campus-wide Purdue Student Consulting (PSC) organization, which connects students from management, engineering, science, and technology with corporate clients for interdisciplinary hands-on project opportunities each semester.

"Attracting students and forming teams across campus has been very time-consuming and resource-intensive in the past," Matthew Lynall, director of the Krannert School's Experiential Learning Initiative (ELI), said in a statement. "EduSourced's software platform is going to help us greatly in managing the logistics of a campus-wide program, connecting students, sponsors and projects. We anticipate rolling the system out across all our experiential learning programs once PSC is up and running."

Since EduSourced launched in August 2014, it has become an active contributor to the experiential learning community. Most recently, EduSourced partnered with program directors at the University of Illinois-Urbana Champaign, Purdue University, and Brigham Young University to present an experiential learning webinar.

 "It is extremely useful for seasoned program directors like Matthew Lynall to share their insights and best practices," said David Comisford,  founder and CEO of EduSourced. "The feedback from the experiential learning community has been highly positive."
