Sorry for the slow response. I have been traveling a little and got preoccupied. I hope you will check back in with us as we continue to post. Shwen and I are eager for the conversation. I do sense that ex-ed in a facebook (etc.) world could be very powerful, especially since such experiences really profit from reflection to integrate them with classical academic learning. Now we have reflection at two levels - here in the blogosphere and in the individual student making sense out of it all. Dave, Thanks for the comment. Sorry for the slow response.

Knowing you, your research, and your passion for education, I'm sure The Other Lobe of the Brain is going to be a must read for many of our fellow bloggers. I think the answer to the question of when the groundswell of experiential learning will hit higher education is partically answered by the appearance of your blog. There are others who have a like minded concern about quality higher education who will join into the discussion and welcome your blog into the fold. Have fun blogging. As I've learned from my experience as a blogger for over five years now, you have no idea what you're about to learn from and with others. Jim: Welcome to the blogosphere.
