Experiential Learning: A Best Practice Handbook for Educators and Trainers

by Colin Beard, John P. Wilson

Games can be more than child's play; they can teach adults, too. As US employees spend more and more time in workplace training, corporations are seeking creative ways to develop and motivate their staff. Beard and Wilson provide a solid and easy-to-follow background into the concepts of experiential, or activity-based, learning and highlight successful techniques, from outdoor team-building to office-based activities. Their concepts can be applied to any groups, from school children to corporate teams.

This is a very well researched book. It is helpful if you are looking for sources on experiential research. The book, however, is more of a general overview. It does not give a theory and structure to the field.

This will serve me as a reference resource.
