Students in AIC’s Business Solution Architecture course are gaining hands-on experience through interactive activities designed to connect theory with real-world practice.

Applied Management Lecturer Nishika Jayasinghe says experiential learning offers an effective approach for addressing the theory-practice gap in education.

The activity she designed asked students to explore the concept of big data architecture by selecting a real-world organisation. Nishika provided scenarios for students to study and discuss, encouraging them to use grey literature, academic sources, and AI tools to brainstorm ideas. Students then created diagrams, presented their work to the class, and took part in group discussions.
