An Experiential Learning and Authentic Assessment Framework for Challenge-Based Learning
(MDPI AG, 2026)
Salinas-Navarro, David Ernesto
;
Palma-Mendoza, Jaime Alberto
This research-to-practice study presents a design-oriented framework that integrates challenge-based learning (CBL), experiential learning (EL), and authentic assessment (AA) to support competency development in higher education. The framework aligns the stages of CBL (i.e., engagement, investigation, and solution) with Kolb’s experiential learning cycle and core AA principles, including realism, cognitive challenge, and evaluative judgement. Learning activities are structured around real-world challenges that reflect professional practice, enabling a coherent progression from experience to reflection, conceptualisation, and evaluation, and supporting the systematic development and assessment of student competencies. A single case study illustrates the application of the framework in industrial engineering education, implemented across six interdisciplinary modules at a private university in Mexico. Students engaged in process improvement projects within six small and medium-sized enterprises, fostering problem solving, decision making, and evaluative judgement in authentic contexts. The findings indicate that the framework supports the development of problem-solving and communication competencies, demonstrating its design coherence and practical feasibility. The framework provides structured guidance for educators to align learning objectives, activities, and assessments within CBL environments. However, limitations related to pedagogical integration and the single-case design constrain the generalisability of the findings. Future research should explore cross-disciplinary applications, longitudinal competency development, and adaptation to emerging educational contexts. © The authors © MDPI.

Live Case Studies in Industrial Engineering Education for Experiential Learning and Authentic Assessment
(MDPI AG, 2026)

Live case studies are widely used in higher education to support active learning; however, their pedagogical potential is often limited by weak integration with learning theories and assessments. This research-to-practice study examines the systematic design of live case studies by integrating Kolb’s experiential learning cycle (ELC) and authentic assessment (AA) principles. This paper presents a framework that conceptualises live cases as the learning context, ELC as the learning process, and AA as evaluative logic. The framework is illustrated through a case study of an undergraduate Quality Management module in industrial engineering at a Mexican university, involving 31 final-year students. The study is design-oriented and illustrative, aiming to demonstrate framework enactment rather than evaluating causal effectiveness. Using a case study methodology, the instructional design and enactment were documented using the ADDIE model. Data were obtained from educational artefacts, assessment results, and student feedback surveys. The findings suggest that aligning teaching and assessment activities with the ELC stages and the AA principles effectively supports learning trajectories. This support covers experience, reflection, conceptualisation, and application. Live case studies enabled the integration of multiple assessment methods around shared organisational problems and supported personalised learning through students’ case selection. This study contributes a design logic and operational framework for distributing authentic assessment across Kolb’s experiential learning stages within live case pedagogy. Rather than offering statistical generalisation, the framework serves as a foundation for adaptation and research, emphasising transferability across disciplines, educational levels, and delivery modes. Limitations are acknowledged regarding the conceptual scope, methodological design, and empirical context. © The authors © MDPI.

Challenge-Based Learning for Active Learning in Industrial Engineering Education
(Emerald Publishing Limited, 2025)

Franco-Herrera, Froylan
This chapter delves into the design of active learning activities for competence development in industrial engineering students through challenge-based learning (CBL). A learning challenge, as a purposeful experience, is proposed to expose students to real-world situations through experiential learning (EL). Around a challenge, tutors and students collaborate with an organization as an educational partner to develop alternative solutions in line with their intended learning outcomes. A case study is presented to exemplify the development of active learning activities within a CBL and EL framework that supports authentic assessment (AA) in a group of industrial engineering aggregated courses at Tecnologico de Monterrey in Mexico. The learning challenge provides promising results for the satisfactory development of student competences and the AA of their learning outcomes. However, limitations do exist concerning difficulties in the design and implementation process, which require further work. ©The authors ©Emerald.

This chapter describes the intentions and content of this handbook. This chapter also introduces the two main concepts addressed in this handbook: “Active learning” and “authentic assessment.” Concerning the latter concept, this chapter suggests a spectrum of authentic assessment, linked to different active learning approaches, from approaches highly immersive with real-world tasks to approaches with more simulated or contrived environments. This spectrum may help module designers identify which kind of active learning approach for authentic assessment would work better, considering the constraints, under which the module will operate, and the resources available. ©The authors ©Emerald.

Palma-Mendoza, Jaime Alberto
The post-pandemic era shaped by COVID-19 has compelled universities to reimagine their learning experiences, adapting to new educational requirements and heightened expectations. However, this transformation brings forth novel pedagogical requirements and learning limitations. In today’s educational landscape, learners seek active and relevant learning experiences that seamlessly integrate interactivity, crisis awareness, and global challenges tied to a resilience and sustainability perspective. To address this imperative, our work introduces an experiential learning lab to articulate Kolb’s experiential learning cycle and authentic assessment principles. By incorporating real-world events as study scenarios, higher-order skill challenges, and self-regulated learning in alignment with reflective and practical activities, we aim to enhance students’ engagement and learning relevance. To illustrate practical implementation, we propose a case study methodology regarding an experiential learning lab for operations management education. Specifically, we delve into a case study centred around the Social Lab for Sustainable Logistics, involving a circular economy challenge as a learning experience during the post-COVID-19 pandemic. Preliminary results indicate that the experiential learning lab helped to create the learning experience in alignment with intended learning outcomes. However, further instances of such learning experiences are necessary to explore the contribution and applicability of the lab across diverse settings and disciplines.
