1. Team's Comments about the Project
Each team had to provide a short follow-up at the beginning, middle and the end of
their research paper. This document will regroup all of these so that the reader can
understand a little more the challenges that are encountered during class.
Follow-Up #1 ( February 13, 2015)
As of today it is going well. There are many research papers on the subject of
Experiential Learning (ExL); however, there are no current studies relating ExL to
entrepreneurship, and the effectiveness of utilizing multimedia to recreate the ExL
experience. My partner Alexis, and I have created a survey in order to best determine the
key points of external speakers, and the techniques they use to keep the class engaged. By
analyzing the findings of our survey we will submit one class to the speaker, and one to a
visual presentation/summation of the same speaker, and compare and contrast the results.
Additionally, are in the process of contacting students currently in BMG 318 and past
students of the class in order to gain further insight on the ExL process and the benefits it
provides. BMG 318 is a course designed around pairing students with established
entrepreneurs and placing them in a consulting role. By studying the feelings of the
students towards the course, and picking out the most consistent learning objectives we
will be able to further solidify what is required for the students to truly master the
entrepreneurial arts, and the most beneficial ways to recreate the experience through
multimedia.

2. Attached is the survey we have devised in order to determine the best practices of the
speakers, and the survey will be used in order to determine the effectiveness of our media
presentation.

Comment #2 Progress Report
Dividing Our Project: Topics In Entrepreneurship
Our project, being an action project in BMG 320, we had been given the
opportunity to record guest speakers in the class of BMG 214, another Bishop’s
University entrepreneurship class. Our project had two parts the action part, where we
would do something in real life and a document explaining our findings of the theory
behind the action. Our Topic was Experiential Learning. Quickly to sum it up it is a
hands on style of learning, where in a cyclical fashion one learns by going through
“Kolb’s Cycle of Experiential Learning”.
Matt will go forward with the research and Alexis will do the action part. Matt has
done much research to this point and has a fair understanding of the topic. As far as it
goes for research he believes he is ready. Now to complete the paper he will find time in
his busy schedule to sit down and write the fifteen page document.
Alexis has recorded three of the four guest speakers. Two of the guest speakers
have been completely edited and are ready to be viewed. Alexis has been talking to
Guillaume, the representative of the webpage, and they have been in discussion on how
the video should be hosted on the internet. The decision was made that it would be
simplest to go through Youtube.
Overall for both members there has been some obstacles that have been meet but
those have been overcome and they are looking forward to completing the project.

3. Overall Comment on the Semester (Follow-Up #3, April 8, 2015)
Comments #3 Final
Looking At Our Overall Project: Topics In Entrepreneurship
Looking back at what has been learnt during this project, we can say with
confidence that this experience was well worth the time spent. Matt Jones had focused
more on the literary component of the project while Alexis Stogowski had focused more
on the action portion of the project. Here is what Matt had to say: The project was an
interesting way to explore the world of experiential Learning and truly understand its
meaning and applications. With this new found knowledge we where able to see how
teachers are trying to incorporate this new method into student teachings through
different classes that I have taken over the years. However with many classes having
curriculum’s already set and with older teaching styles that have been long established, I
could see where teachers are having difficulty integrating experimental learning into the
classroom. Nevertheless a movement in teaching can be felt in the classroom. Group
projects and independent learning playing a larger and larger role in todays classrooms.
Ultimately it will be the students that will benefit from a more adapted teaching style.
Alexis Stogowski’s responsibilities included recording the guest speakers and
editing the recording. There was also a small component of trying to accumulate any
information that could be beneficial. His statement is as follows: I remember my first
video took me nearly a whole weekend to complete. Now within a few hours I can have a
video completed and ready to share. I took a lot of time to simply research the ins and
outs of the video editing software, I used iMovie on an Apple computer. However now
that I have this knowledge I believe it will be useful for me in the future. If I was to be
asked what I would do differently, I would have to say offering more angles of viewing
to the spectator. Offering different angles might keep the viewer more interested and
focused on the presentation. Overall I would say it was a success, but there is always
room for improvement.
