Review Criteria
CRITERIA 1
Significance and value of topic and content to the field of experiential education, to the intended audience, and the thematic strand
Is the proposal topic relevant/timely/critical/of interest for the designated strand and/or AEE conference participants in general? Does the workshop integrate theoretical foundations and innovations?
CRITERIA 2
Workshop design/format
It is recommended that workshops incorporate experiential components. We realize this factor may not be appropriate for some presentations, such as sharing the results of your research, however, experiential learning is the cornerstone of AEE. Experiential learning
conceives of the learner as an active participant in creating personal knowledge. It is interactive and encourages learners to discover knowledge rather than be informed. Experiential learning is best received within a supportive, accepting, and caring social environment that embraces several different learning modalities to effectively reach people with different learning styles.
CRITERIA 3
Skills and purpose clearly developed.
Are the ideas fully and thoughtfully developed? Are tangible skills/outcomes for participants identified?
