By Adam Turteltaub What do cupcakes, cookies and compliance training have in common?  More than you might think, reports Barbara-Ann Boehler, Senior Director of the Program on Corporate Compliance and Ethics at Fordham University  School of Law.  She successfully used the act of frosting the treats a part of a compliance learning exercise. It's a great, if unusual, example of experiential learning, which seeks to teach people by getting the learner to do the thing that they are learning rather than just sitting and listening. A more common example of experiential learning is to create a case study in which the participants play different roles and see how the situation plays out. This interactive approach to learning can be much stickier, figuratively and literally (if you use frosting) with lessons sinking in deeper and discussions lasting long after the session is over. Listen in to learn more but, maybe, eat something healthy first.

Welcome to episode 41 of the Designing with Love podcast, where I cover why understanding Adult Learning Theory is fundamental to creating effective and engaging learning experiences for adult learners.Ever wondered why some learning experiences resonate deeply with adult learners while others fall flat? The answer lies in understanding how adults learn differently from children – a critical distinction that shapes effective instructional design.In this illuminating episode, I dive into the fascinating world of adult learning theory and why it matters for anyone creating educational experiences. We explore how adult learning differs fundamentally from pedagogy by emphasizing autonomy, relevance, and real-world problem-solving rather than dependent learning. Adults bring rich experiences to the table and seek learning that serves clear purposes with immediate application.I break down four cornerstone theories that should inform your design approach: Knowles' Andragogy with its focus on self-direction; Kolb's Experiential Learning cycle; Mezirow's perspective-changing Transformative Learning; and Self-Determination Theory with its emphasis on autonomy, competence, and relatedness. However, theory only matters when applied correctly, which is why I dispel five persistent myths about adult learners that might be undermining your effectiveness.Whether you're creating corporate training, teaching college courses, or building online content, understanding adult learning theory makes your work exponentially more impactful. Download the reference diagram from this episode and share your own experiences applying these principles in your work. Education isn't about filling pails—it's about lighting fires in the minds of your adult learners.

In this episode, Phil revisits the influential book 'Silver Bullets' by Karl Rohnke, sharing key insights and play pointers that remain relevant in adventure education today. He emphasizes the importance of engagement, flexibility in rules, variety in activities, inclusivity in team selection, and self-competition, all aimed at enhancing the experiential learning process. Engagement in activities is crucial for effective learning. Flexibility in rules can enhance participation and enjoyment. Variety in activities prevents boredom and keeps participants engaged. Inclusivity in team selection fosters a sense of belonging. Self-competition encourages personal growth and motivation. Minimizing rules can lead to more dynamic and engaging activities. Bending rules can adapt activities to fit different groups. Avoiding repetitive activities maintains interest and excitement. Observation can be a valid form of participation. Karl Rohnke's principles continue to influence adventure education.

They discuss the significance of building trust through authentic communication, the importance of engaging introductions, and the impact of presence on audience perception. Salvatore shares insights on overcoming imposter syndrome and the balance between planning and spontaneity in communication. The conversation also highlights the role of storytelling in effective communication and concludes with Salvatore's upcoming book, 'Clear and Compelling,' aimed at empowering individuals to express their authentic voices.   Glossophobia is a prevalent fear that affects many people.

In this conversation, Phil Brown and Devin Farkas discuss the evolving landscape of outdoor education, focusing on accessibility, the importance of experiential learning, and the development of leadership skills in outdoor settings. They explore the core impacts of outdoor education, including confidence building and connection with nature, while also addressing the need to shift perspectives on risk and challenge. The discussion culminates in a vision for the future of outdoor education that emphasizes reducing barriers and enhancing learning experiences through outdoor spaces.   Outdoor education should be accessible to all, not just the adventurous few. Experiential learning is key to achieving educational outcomes. Confidence, connection, and skill development are core impacts of outdoor education. The focus should be on creating meaningful experiences, not just flashy adventures. Leadership development is best achieved in low-risk environments. Facilitators should allow discomfort to foster learning opportunities. The situational leadership model can enhance group dynamics. Outdoor education can be integrated into everyday learning environments. The future of outdoor education lies in reducing barriers and enhancing accessibility.

In this conversation, Phil Brown discusses the nuances of training in challenge courses, emphasizing the importance of shared experiences and safety protocols. He recounts a near miss incident involving a participant and a helmet, highlighting the lessons learned and the need for vigilance among facilitators. The discussion encourages a culture of continuous learning.   Facilitators should encourage discussions about impactful moments. Safety protocols must be adapted based on real experiences. Helmets can be both beneficial and problematic in certain scenarios. Vigilance is crucial when managing participants on challenge courses. Facilitators should practice lowering techniques before climbing. Sharing stories helps build a learning community. Anecdotal experiences can provide valuable lessons not found in manuals. Continuous learning is essential in the outdoor education industry. Engagement with the community can lead to shared insights and improvements.

In this conversation, Romy Alexandra discusses the concept of experiential learning, sharing her personal journey and insights into how experiential education can transform traditional learning methods. She emphasizes the importance of engaging learners through experience, reflection, and action, and explores the experiential learning cycle and various learning styles. The discussion also highlights the significance of reflection in the learning process and how it can be made more engaging. Romy shares practical strategies for facilitators to enhance their teaching methods and the need to bridge theory and practice in education.   Experiential learning is about learning through experience, reflection, thinking, and acting. Reflection is essential for deep learning and should be varied to keep it engaging. Learning styles are preferences that can change over time and should not box learners in. The experiential learning cycle can be applied to all aspects of life, not just formal education. Peer learning is often more impactful than facilitator-led instruction. Creating a safe space for reflection can lead to powerful insights and learning outcomes. Facilitators should strive to engage all learning styles in their teaching methods. The journey of learning is continuous and can spiral into deeper understanding and action.
