EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING
Students and trainees learn more by DOING than hearing and seeing!
"Studies show we retain under 20% of what we see or hear alone, and 50% of what we both see and hear but up to 80% of what we interact with."
Using simulations, on-line learning and business experiential applications, supports blended hybrid learning in a mixed mode experiential environment.
Learn Business, http://www.golearnbusiness.com/ , has some of those tools, and is looking for partners who have additional approaches and methods or partners who would like customized tools.
