learner.

David Kolb(1939) described experiential learning as an integrative process of concrete experience, reflectiveobservation, abstract conceptualization, and active experimentation. In summary, Experientiallearning theory defines learning as "the process whereby knowledge is created through thetransformation of experience

project – at school, at work, at home, etc. The purpose of this exercise isto establish common ground and relevance around the topic of project management between theworkshop facilitator and the students. This is re-iterated in the presentation slide as: “We haveshared context.” In other words, we are on this project management journey together.This brief introduction is followed by a ten-minute mini-lecture that shares fundamental projectmanagement concepts utilizing the project management body of knowledge (PMBOK, an ANSIstandard)[6]. This reference integrates industry and academic sources, which further builds on,and integrates, the relevance of practice and the use of standards within practice. Project
