Student nurses spend hours working on clinical rotations; students engineers often tackle a capstone project as seniors, working with an industry sponsor on a real-world challenge.<\/p>\n<p>Now, there\u2019s a platform at UND that can let faculty in almost any field help students bridge school and work.<\/p>\n<p>The platform is called Riipen \u2013 and it\u2019s pronounced \u201cripen,\u201d for reasons that will become clear.<\/p>\n<p>Riipen is a Vancouver, B.C.-based startup whose platform helps faculty create and embed work-integrated learning experiences directly into their courses. It first caught the attention of Jeff Holm, UND\u2019s Vice Provost for Online Education and Strategic Planning, because Ripen so clearly would help UND solve a problem:<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3521\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3521\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3521\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.und.edu\/und-today\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2017\/08\/161018_Jeffery_-Holm_DSC_4791-3-e1547586806694.jpg\" alt=\"Jeff Holm\" width=\"150\" height=\"225\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3521\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jeff Holm<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cAs vice provost for Online Education, one of my biggest concerns has to do with our online classes being able to provide students with real-life, hands-on learning experiences,\u201d Holm told UND Today.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, when I looked at Riipen, it was very exciting for me, because it\u2019s a way for our classes and students to connect with 10,000 businesses, nonprofits and government agencies.\u201d The net result \u2013 in which students learning political science might, for example, carry out a demographic analysis for a polling firm \u2013 helps the student, the university and the company alike, Holm said.<\/p>\n<p>Mimi Marani, experiential learning and academic relationship manager at Riipen, agreed. \u201cThe explanation that lands with most educators is that Riipen is like Match.com, but for academia,\u201d Marani said with a laugh.<\/p>\n<p>In other words, a professor will submit a course outline to the Riipen platform, listing some of the objectives students will be expected to achieve. Industry partners that have a relevant project for students will respond.<\/p>\n<p>The professor then will choose the best fit, and start working out the details with the company. Professors can choose from more than 3,000 projects on the Riipen platform, while companies and other organizations that have projects can scroll through 1,000-plus courses.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRiipen is not an acronym for anything,\u201d Marani said. \u201cIt\u2019s pronounced \u2018ripen,\u2019 and that\u2019s the idea: essentially ripening young minds.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Riipen\u2019s goal is to end university graduates\u2019 underemployment, by making sure that all graduates \u2013 not just those from programs where clinical experiences and fieldwork are the norm \u2013 leave college with marketable workplace skills, she said.<\/p>\n<p>UND now has a three-year agreement with Riipen, one that gradually will expand access to the company\u2019s platform. UND faculty who teach on-campus, online or hybrid courses are eligible to take part.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>A time-saver for teachers<\/h4>\n<figure id=\"attachment_18688\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-18688\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-18688\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.und.edu\/und-today\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2020\/12\/221921646sst1607461165.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"225\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-18688\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Robert Warren<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Robert Warren, instructor in marketing at UND, was one of the first to sign up.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI teach at a community college in Canada as well, and we\u2019ve been using Riipen for maybe two years,\u201d Warren said. \u201cI\u2019ll tell you, it makes my job a lot easier.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As mentioned above, educators have long understood how important it is for students to get on-the-job experience. That\u2019s why internships are so popular, and why mechanical engineering seniors at UND complete industry-sponsored projects, \u201cengineering solutions to real-world problems,\u201d as the department\u2019s website puts it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut in the past, it\u2019s always been who a local instructor knew,\u201d Warren said. \u201cBack then, I\u2019d be calling around to my contacts right now, looking for projects for students in my spring-term courses. And let\u2019s face it, it doesn\u2019t take you long to burn through the projects in a local area.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to Riipen, Warren now has access to projects with employers from across North America. \u201cAnd they all know the project has to fit into the college term system,\u201d he said. \u201cSometimes when businesses contact us, they want it done tomorrow. I have to say, \u2018I\u2019m sorry, but that\u2019s not how we work. I can\u2019t ask student to drop whatever they\u2019re doing for this.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Recently, Warren posted on Riipen a course outline and project objectives for a class he\u2019ll be teaching on retail management. \u201cI got a bite from a company that\u2019s going online with their beauty and cosmetics products,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey\u2019re looking for somebody to figure out, \u2018Who\u2019s the market for this? What does the website have to look like? How will customers interact with the site?\u2019 All of this, we cover in the retail class.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Students who successfully complete such a project will get not only valuable experience, but also personalized feedback from the company, Warren said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIndustry associations, Chambers of Commerce and others are saying, \u2018We need students who can be contributing members right away.\u2019 And that\u2019s often a deciding factor when an employer is choosing between people, in that the employer says, \u2018Who can I get up to speed faster? Because that person is less of a cost to me.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_18704\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-18704\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-18704 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.und.edu\/und-today\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2020\/12\/RiipenUNDpage3-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"475\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.und.edu\/und-today\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2020\/12\/RiipenUNDpage3-1.png 800w, https:\/\/blogs.und.edu\/und-today\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2020\/12\/RiipenUNDpage3-1-300x178.png 300w, https:\/\/blogs.und.edu\/und-today\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2020\/12\/RiipenUNDpage3-1-768x456.png 768w, https:\/\/blogs.und.edu\/und-today\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2020\/12\/RiipenUNDpage3-1-600x356.png 600w, https:\/\/blogs.und.edu\/und-today\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2020\/12\/RiipenUNDpage3-1-200x118.png 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-18704\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Faculty, staff and others who are interested in Riipen can visit the above web page, which is in the Academic Tools &amp; Technologies section of UND&#8217;s Teaching Transformation &amp; Development Academy website.
