Learner goals and capabilities

We at Teaching and Learning Services (TLS), together with the Student Experience Office and Career Services, are excited to partner with Riipen to offer Carleton students, staff, and instructors the opportunity to collaborate on virtual, short-term projects (maximum 6-8 hours of work) called Discovery Challenges. Discovery Challenges provide students with resumé-boosting work-related experience and staff and instructors with valuable input from students. Riipen is a web platform to facilitate projects between students and employers.

In short, Carleton staff, instructors, and recognized student groups (clubs and societies, CUSA, GSA) can propose Discovery Challenges that Carleton graduate and undergraduate students can complete for meaningful experience and co-curricular record (CCR) credit.

Project Examples

Some examples of possible Discovery Challenges:

  • develop a detailed communication plan to promote an upcoming Carleton event, including a timeline and draft social media messages (e.g., Tweets).
  • evaluate a specific Carleton website from a gendered, racialized, or disability lens and make specific recommendations for improvement.
  • propose and/or prototype an update/upgrade to an existing Carleton product or service.
Companies must answer the following questions to submit a match request to this experience:

Be available for a quick phone call with the instructor to initiate your relationship and confirm your scope is an appropriate fit for the course.

Provide a dedicated contact who is available to answer periodic emails or phone calls over the duration of the project to address students' questions.
