Virtual Action Learning – Students feel lift-off, but what’s the view from the cockpit?

Abstract: Higher education has become the staging ground for a myriad of engagement strategies as teaching academics around the world respond to the higher education challenges in a Covid and post-Covid environment. Whilst evidence exists as to the success of action learning as an effective student engagement strategy (Rimanoczy, 2016), there appears to have been less focus on understanding and evaluating the challenges of implementation from the teacher’s perspective (Brook et al., 2021). Our ongoing research considers this aspect of developing and implementing an action learning approach in both an undergraduate and a postgraduate program, within the private higher education sector.
