[Glassman, Michael]

Hi Greg,

My own feeling is the best work in experiential learning right now is being done in virtual reality and I think eventually augmented reality.  Check out the work of Kurt Squire and to a lesser extent Gilly Salmon.

Big fan of Chip Bruce's work on inquiry learning and she should check out what the Digital Media Learning Hub is doing with the Connected Learning framework.

These two sources may not show up in traditional lit reviews of experiential learning.
