The Design, Conduct and Evaluation of Experiential Learning Systems*

Abstract

"The Problem: To develop an operational conceptualization of experiential learning and to specify practical methodologies needed to effectively design, conduct, and evaluate experience-based learning systems. These systems will provide a workable alternative to effectively meet the individualized needs and learning styles of students. Objective: To demonstrate the potential of experience-based learning by conducting an entire MBA program for 25-30 students designed solely around experience-based learning processes. Further we intend to disseminate our findings to the academic community to increase the potential for wide-spread use of experienced-based learning systems. "
