Kathy,
I am pleased to see this study. I provided my contact information at the end of the survey and would like to talk with you and/or Sarah or Jeanie. I am writing my dissertation at this time on the data collected from a phenomenological study (exploratory interviews) at an Asian campus of a large American university. My research questions are:

1. What definitions of experiential learning are expressed by students, instructors, and administrators?
2. Within a classroom learning context, how do participants describe teaching and learning related to experiential learning? Specifically, how do:
   1. students describe their own classroom experiences with experiential learning?
   2. instructors describe their classroom experiences with experiential learning?
   3. administrators describe their understandings of the ways in which instructors and students experience and engage in experiential learning?
3. What value, if any, do students, instructors, and administrators ascribe to experiential learning?

Your research is complementary and will collect data on instructors' use of, and evaluation of, experiential learning pedagogies. I will enjoy reading your study when you publish it.
