I do compliment my workshops with other materials to round out the experience for participants with different preferences. I suggest you check out the <a href="http://stevenmsmith.com/aye-conference-2010/" rel="nofollow">AYE Conference</a>. It's great conference, which features experiential learning. Thank you for the feedback, Steve Mark, I haven’t studied VARK. But I see information about it on the web. I’ll check it out.

I agree that I like kinesthetic learning the best when it comes to learning. The act of 'doing' helps commit things to memory; nature has designed our minds to retain the things we 'do' especially the things we do repetitively. Have you studied much about VARK learning styles? I would guess that you still compliment what you teach in the experience with other read/write, visual materials for those that may have a preference for those types of learning? I also really like the idea of sharing during the debrief, as oftentimes we may not adopt others points of view until presented to us. Those other points of view may help unlock other thoughts and learnings within ourselves. Good thoughts. I agree that I like kinesthetic learning the best when it comes to learning.
