Experiential learning is a powerful form of learning which takes students into workplaces and other settings where they directly encounter the very things they are studying.

Dr Etienne Wenger-Trayner will provide a critique of experiential learning using three video cases as a stimulus for the discussion. Joining Dr Wenger-Trayner in the discussion will be three leading teachers in this area.
