University of Cape Town: http://www.uct.ac.za/ Experiencial Learning website: http://www.uct.ac.za/depts/adult-ed/icel.htm "Experiential learning refers to a spectrum of meanings, practices and ideologies which emerge out of the work and commitments of policy makers, educators, trainers, change agents, and "ordinary" people all over the world. They see "experiential learning" - with different meanings - as relevant to the challenges they currently face: in their lives, in education, in institutions, in commerce and industry, in communities, and in society as a whole. What's available? The "Recognition of Prior Learning" website will be completed by February 2000 (http://www.uct.ac.za/depts/adult-ed/rpl.htm; contact information: Judy Harris, e-mail: jh@education.uct.ac.za). Also included in the website, the project "Research & Development Programme in the Recognition of Prior Learning", conducted between 1996 and 1999, (http://www.uct.ac.za/depts/adult-ed/rplproj.htm) aimed to investigate RPL as an alternative access mechanism into Higher Education - particularly for those adults who have historically been excluded.
