Experiential Learning Packet

The American Council on Education points out that the American society abounds in resources for learning at the post-secondary level. Public, private, and proprietary educational institutions exercise the central but not the exclusive responsibility for instruction and learning. Associations, businesses, government, industry, the military, and unions, sponsor instruction. In addition, independent study and reading, work experiences, the mass media, and the social interaction contribute to learning and competency. The American Council on Education also notes "full and effective use of all educational resources is a worthy educational and social goal."
