Exploring the Value of Community Embedded Learning

This 18-month study explores the opportunities for expanding different forms of community-embedded learning in Calgary. Three research questions guide this study:

  1. What are the aspirations of learners, educators, and community partners?

  2. How can the system deliver on these aspirations?

  3. How can we operationalize the optimal model?

To answer these questions, the LearningCITY project team will conduct a concurrent mixed-methods study between April 2023 and December 2024. This includes secondary, experimental, qualitative, and quantitative methods. The study team includes researchers from the University of Calgary, Mount Royal University, SAIT, the University of Lethbridge, and the University of Northern British Columbia.
