Script

Experiential learning is an educational method that is based on both direct experience and cognitive reflection on that experience. Those methods may include a wide range of techniques from observations to experiments and heuristics, but the following consideration of what was observed and what can be learned is the key. That methodology may also be defined as learning through reflection on doing. Other names include activity-based learning, learning by doing, and so on.
Project-based learning encompasses working on real-world projects related to the subject of learning.
Exploratory research encloses completing one or more researches that relate to the subject of learning, but which procedure cannot be fully prescribed and which results cannot be completely estimated.
Learning through failure is a heuristic to utilize experience for learning.
The Harvard Law School originated and the Harvard Law School advanced the case-based learning. This method is based on usage of decision-forcing cases to put students in the role of people who were faced with difficult decisions at some point in the past. In sharp contrast to many other educational methods, the case method requires that instructors refrain from providing their own opinions about the decisions in question. At the same time, instructor's feedback may be provided during the following debriefing or a lessons learned session.
When it comes to information technology, CNM Next Apps are primary tools for the experiential studies within CNMCyber. These apps are hosted at the CNM Lab Farm, which serve as a playground for those learners, who take corresponding courses at CNM Cert. The CNM Action Suite offers the experiential learning tools for those learners who are not specialize in information technology.
