Enhancing experiential education in an MBA coaching program

Designing Effective Experiential Curriculum: The Experiential Learning Map

“…The ELM reflects the eight experiential educational principles of good practice: intention, preparedness and planning, authenticity, reflection, orientation and training, monitoring and continuous improvement, assessment and evaluation, and acknowledgment. First developed by the National Society for Experiential Education (1998), these principles have helped shape research in experiential education for the past 25 years and are hallmarks of good curricular design practice (Thomason et al, 2022;Butler et al, 2019). We developed the ELM in this tradition and also offer the added value of providing an easily accessible method and tool for designers of learning experiences to create those experiences with intention, iteration, and the flexibility to align these practices within their unique course and institutional contexts.…”
