Description
Very often, facilitators of learning introduce new concepts and knowledge through a lecture or a reading. Experiential learning introduces a different, more reflective but at the same time active approach to learning. In this approach students reflect on their lived experience and what they already know about a particular concept or subject area. They then relate the new concepts and knowledge being introduced to their own experience. A good example of this is illustrated in the learning design below.
Mode of delivery
Blended
Aims
