What a Design

Abstract

This chapter begins by exploring traditional experiential learning assessment and the limitations of these assessment methods. The authors suggest that by applying design thinking (DT) principles to the assessment of experiential learning, learners can become central to the learning process and comprehend more from the experience. In this chapter, the authors will evaluate the impact of traditional experiential learning assessments on student learning and their goals, identify DT principles that could influence learners' learning experiences and achievements, and examine existing design thinking tools that can be used to assess experiential learning programs.
