In a nutshell: 

Today’s universities have been criticized for being out of touch, out of date, and unresponsive to society’s needs.

Practical-learning environments allow students to develop in numerous ways that can have lifelong benefits.

• First, gaining practical experience puts education theory into practice and thereby makes it more relevant. Practical experience also allows people to learn in a variety of ways .
  
• Real-world learning prepares you for further education, for careers, and for community involvement. It is difficult to overestimate the value of learning by doing.
• Students who transition well from high school to college and from college to the workplace are those who switch from being receivers of information to being seekers of information; they take responsibility for their learning.
