Kolb's "Experiential Learning Model" is described nicely by Anderson & Adams (1992).* This model describes four dimensions in a learning cycle which include a learner's immersion in a concrete experience, followed by observations and reflections, followed by logically shaped or inductive formation of abstract concepts and generalizations, and finally, the empirical testing of the implications of concepts in new situations. This, in turn, gives rise to new experiences which starts the learning cycle again at a greater level of complexity.

Table I lists teaching activities that support different aspects of this learning cycle. Any of these can be further adapted for individual or group, competitive or collaborative, in-class or out-of-class activities.
