Experiential learning is on the rise (Roberts & Welton 2022), perhaps because it can be a pathway to increased student engagement.

It’s often said that teaching and learning doesn’t always take place in the classroom—some of the most important lessons are learned on the playground, in the street, on the job or somewhere else.
