The idea of self-directed learning seems to be becoming a prominent and popular theme once again, allowing adults in our organisations to take the initiative and responsibility for their own learning. My excitement ...

Are you translating your Training Needs Analysis into effective experiential learning?
We often encounter clients who conduct a 'conventional' Training Needs Analysis (TNA) and then struggle to convert the results to the design of an experientially based programme of learning. A combination of line manager / peer observation, survey and strategic considerations should reveal a pretty comprehensive representation of individual ...

What's the right setting for delivering Experiential Learning content?
In the blog I wrote last month I tried to address some of the assumptions about experiential learning that seem to be getting in the way of people including elements of this approach in their programming. It seems that the most pervasive of these assumptions is about the physical spaces that are needed to deliver effective experiential content. To ...

This book was written to help both those familiar with the Chiji Processing Cards (and excited to find an entire book full of ideas for using them), and those unfamiliar with them.
Chiji is a Chinese word that means “key moment,” but within the definition is both the moment itself and the person’s reaction to that moment.
This 112 page book is an instructional guide describing some of the different ways Chiji Processing Cards can be used to facilitate key moments during group experiential learning and workshop experiences. This guidebook gives a simple, straightforward explanation of the processing theory that coincides with the original use of Chiji Cards (a group facilitation tool), and it provides a rationale for when to use one workshop facilitation technique over another.
The Activity Guide Section of the book presents 25 different ways to use Chiji Cards. The activities are divided into six chapters- Processing Activities, Getting-To-Know-You, Frontloading Activities, Object Lessons, Initiative Activities, and Fun With Chiji Cards.
Most of the activities were developed by the authors (Chris Cavert & Steven Simpson), but several come directly from other experiential educators who have shared their uses of the cards with us.
Chiji Processing Cards are a deck of 48 cards with pictures originally designed to spark/enhance discussion during a processing session as part of a Kolb reflective cycle. When a facilitator asks the group a question, each person chooses a card that symbolises their answer to the question. The images on the cards are used as prompts to help individuals organise their thinking. Rather than having to pull an answer to a question out of thin air, the pictures provide a starting point from which to formulate a response.

Cavert and Simpson contribute to the field of experiential education by inviting readers to facilitate in ways that blur traditional lines between experience and processing.”

Many years ago I helped to create Chiji Processing Cards, but it had never occurred to me to write a book about the many ways to use the Cards. When Chris Cavert, a fellow author at Wood N Barnes Publishing, suggested that we cowrite a book about Chiji Cards, I jumped at the opportunity. Chris is an expert at writing experiential education activity books, and I knew that I would learn a lot by collaborating with him.
The result is instructions for twenty-five different ways to use Chiji Processing Cards. This book is very different from anything else I’ve ever written, but for experiential educators who use Chiji Cards, The Chiji Guidebook is a useful reference book.
Chiji is a Chinese word that means “key moment,” but within the definition is both the moment itself and the person’s reaction to that moment.
Chiji Cards can help trainers, teachers, coaches and many other group and workshop facilitators to have meaningful discussions about topics which may be difficult or awkward to talk about.
