I have conducted University at Buffalo Institutional Review Board (IRB) approved pilot studies in Singapore (2014) and Ho Chi Minh Ciy (Saigon - 2016). These studies comprised mixed methods surveys of students to learn the extent to which they have been exposed to experiential learning, and their attitudes toward, and feelings about, experiential learning. The image below is a word cloud of students responses in Saigon when asked what they thought comprised experiential learning.

This week, I have started a third IRB approved study in Saigon. I am interviewing students and instructors, continuing with research questions that explore exposure to, and attitudes toward, experiential learning in a STEM higher education environment. The first instructor interview took place yesterday. His insights into experiential teaching methods, and his commitment to those methods, would match an of the university instructors I know in the USA or elsewhere, including myself. 

I selected a suitable environment for the interview. We met in a spacious lounge at a five-star hotel near the university, getting us into a relaxed and quiet space without interruptions. I put the computer away before we started so that it would not be a distraction.
