Riassunto:

Games can be more than child's play; they can teach adults, too. As US employees spend more and more time in workplace training, corporations are seeking creative ways to develop and motivate their staff. Beard and Wilson provide a solid and easy-to-follow background into the concepts of experiential, or activity-based, learning and highlight successful techniques, from outdoor team-building to office-based activities. Their concepts can be applied to any groups, from school children to corporate teams.

Recensione:

"Full of creative ideas that can be used by trainers and facilitators to develop their range of skills...The book illustrates the sort of issues that managers and HR specialists should consider when deciding whether to use such events to develop and motivate staff. In particular, it will help them to formulate the sort of questions that need to be asked of experiential learning providers before handing over some of their cash from hard-earned training budgets." (People Management)

"This book is valuable for all the boundary crossing it does. Other books on the subject do not go far beyond the walls of higher education, but this book draws on a huge range of sources... A stimulating collection of ideas and examples that encourages experimentation." (Dr Roger Greenaway, Reviewing Skills Training)

"The range of coverage is impressive." (Journal of Adventure Education and Outdoor Learning)

"Beard and Wilson manage to smoothly lead the reader on a superlative tour of must see concepts and principles." (Horizons Magazine)

"I think you have written a beauty here and I suspect it is going places." (International Association of Experiential Education)
