having participants engage in a number ofexperiences, building their network and connecting to a variety of possible employers and careerpathways.3.3 Micro internshipsAmong the most intensive of WIL experiences offered were the micro-internships which pairedparticipants with industry employers to gain additional insight into and experience with theworkforce. The structure and organization of micro-internships varied across organizations andparticipants. For most, the micro-internship operated mainly as an intensive job shadowing andmentorship experience with participants virtually embedded in the mentor’s activities; for a fewparticipants, the micro-internship also involved working on small projects and presenting anddiscussing results with

Anecdotally, and through informally reviewing related assignments,while it led to good classroom discussions, there are areas for improvement.For example, having results from a form processed and presented just seconds after they aresubmitted may be impressive or grab attention, but it may also be a distraction from the actualcontent or learning objectives. During one session using this form, the first question was abouthow the slides had been made rather
