Abstract:    This study used a case study methodology to document an example of how technology was used to engage students in an experiential eLearning (eeLearning) process in order to enhance student learning, student engagement, course relevance, and interaction in an undergraduate course delivered online. While online course delivery has become an accepted and common practice over the past years, creating experiential eeLearning requires unique strategies and approaches. Using computer programs that encourage creativity and experiential learning can facilitate the learning process. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
