ATHENS — In a world filled with screens and devices, the world is virtually at our fingertips each second of every day. It is easy to look at pictures and videos of places you would like to visit, watch live streaming of events happening around the globe, connect with other cultures or perspectives in a chat box, or even learn a new skill by simply donning a pair of virtual reality goggles.

Even with as many opportunities as these technologies afford, one method of learning remains unmatched in educational quality — hands-on, experiential learning.
