This session offers participants an opportunity to enhance their repertoire of experiential learning (EL) methods that may be appropriate for all types of management courses, and is designed for management educators at all career stages. Beginning with introductions and brief overviews of each of the methods provided for roundtable discussion, we introduce considerations of assessment in experiential learning so that each roundtable may integrate these elements into their discussion. We then break out into groups facilitated by method experts who engage participants in a discussion of their experiential learning method in terms of its considerations for use, relevant elements of implementation, and other issues as raised by participants. We conclude with a discussion of insights and next steps. The PDW offers a comprehensive exploration of 8 experiential learning methods, addressing the theme of "Innovating for the Future." Participants can expect to leave with an expanded view of experiential learning methods, tips and takeaways from discussions with peers, and an enriched network of experts representing multiple experiential learning approaches.
