Facilitating Experiential and Existential Learning Through Distance Education

摘要

In this paper experiential learning is explored and it is recognised that there are two basic forms of experience: primary and secondary. Secondary experience often sets parameters on learning whereby primary experience can free learners to expand their horizons. It is argued here that even through distance education teachers have to power, if they have the understanding, to facilitate primary learning experiences and enable learners to grow and develop their human potentiality.
