• the purpose is to review and examine the current literature
and consider the significance of work-based, work-related
and experiential learning for students, businesses and
universities
• it will draw on knowledge based mainly in current British
literature but also will reflect on key learning offered by
North American literature and broader perspectives
5. Experiential and Work-based Learning:
a Perspective on the Literature
Interim Thoughts: Literature Review
• speaking to what is needed within the University of the
Highlands and Islands and its Placement Suite
• but, equally, trying to draw evidence-based conclusions for
the benefit of the sector generally and the employability
theme specifically
• inclusive rather than exclusive
• speaking to the cathedral rather than the choir
• linked to up-to-date bibliography of books, journals and
online publications in relation to work-based, work-related
and experiential learning
