Great question, Brian!

Here is a website with key definitions in use at my institution (Purdue University): https://exed.purdue.edu/about/about.php

They include experiential education broadly, as well as 7 types of experiential ed

Many of the specific terms you've mentioned are words that are commonly used in different disciplines and that can mean slightly different things in different contexts, but all of them fit together within a broader category which is sometimes called Work-Integrated Learning. I think it can be very useful to start using that term to help folks understand that whether you call it an internship, a practicum, a co-op, or student teaching matters less than what students do during it and what they learn from it.

Hi Brian,

I work in this space broadly across Canada and in the US. Linked below is Canada's/CEWIL's working definitions of some of the terms you mentioned.

Some disciplines/fields have accreditor specific terms that might be more applicable to your question though. I don't know if there is a glossary of those anywhere.

Brian, The University of Louisville did a great glossary of terms several years ago that I often share with folks. Here is a direct link: https://louisville.edu/communityengagement/CommunityEngagementGlossary2.7.11.pdf

I'm working on a data dictionary for my university and was hoping to find a glossary of terms from SEE. Does anyone have definitions they can share for the terms listed below? I'm particularly interested in whether there are clear boundaries between them or if they used so extensively across the academy that it's impossible to draw clear distinctions.
  • Internship
  • Clinicals
  • Practicum
