The RISE Learning Institute hosts the college-wide student showcase, Making Learning Visible (MLV), every quarter to celebrate teaching and learning.
Making Learning Visible is a hybrid event, with both online and in-person showcases. Additionally, at the end of the academic year, student learning is showcased and celebrated across the campus.
The RISE Learning Institute encourages all Bellevue College faculty, staff, and students to join the in-person event, attend any of these public presentations, explore these online poster showcases, and celebrate with other students.
Visit the In-Person Showcase on December 4 & December 5, and view the Virtual Student Showcase below. When you’re done, feel free to sign the Guest Book!

Making Learning Visible Virtual Showcases

Students explored how sounds in our environment shape our experiences and perceptions. They were guided to listen deeply, paying close attention to the quality of soundscapes and recognizing the acoustic environment as an interconnected system that requires care and awareness.
Through the creation of audio postcards, students were able to shape how sound is experienced, drawing attention to its impact and significance while highlighting the subtle details often overlooked in daily life. These postcards encourage listeners to engage with soundscapes that might otherwise go unnoticed, offering a fresh perspective on the auditory world. By reflecting on what we perceive as important or overlooked in our sonic surroundings, the project offers a deeper, more intentional connection with the sounds that shape our environments.
