Hi Darren,

I really enjoyed reading your take on experiential learning! I can totally relate to your point about how mastering skills goes beyond just theoretical knowledge or exam results. I’ve also found that actually applying what we learn through hands-on tasks really deepens understanding. Moreover, I completely agree with you on the importance of structured feedback and assessment in experiential learning. While real-world engagement is a huge benefit, without clear mechanisms to assess progress and provide guidance, it can be difficult for learners to understand whether they’re truly mastering the skills or concepts. This also ties into your earlier point about balancing resource allocation, as too much focus on hands-on activities without proper feedback could lead to gaps in learning. It makes me think about how crucial it is to design these experiences in a way that ensures students not only have the chance to experiment but also receive constructive input that helps them grow.
I look forward to seeing more posts!
