The Experiential Learning Toolkit

The Experiential Learning Toolkit: Blending Practice with Concepts
By Colin Beard

Senior Lecturer at Sheffield Hallam University, Colin Beard, presents this range of practical exercises based around the theory of experiential learning. Essentially experiential learning, when you cut through the jargon and simplify it to it's basic components, is simply the idea that learners learn more effectively from practical experience. The book describes the given theory behind the activities it presents allowing the reader to know not only what she is meant to do but also why she is meant to do it.

Colin has experience with clients in not only higher, further and adult education but he has also worked with corporate organisations and the book reflects this diversity. The book covers everything from effective customer services to developing creativity.

Well presented with 'tips' and 'further reading' suggestions, this book provides a resource for trainers that covers both the theory and practice of experiential learning - while other publications only provide one or the other. Whatever the field of business you are bound to find something relating to it in this book – if you are a trainer this book was written for you!
