For my projects as well as for the Output packet itself, I decided to use an experiential (relating to or resulting from experience) learning cycle, called the Kolbs Model by David Kolb (1984). It is a very clear and not too complex design option, but optimal to play around with during the project work. I experimented with the Kolbs model by applying all different learning stages directly in its usage. In the following you can read more about how I applied it in the four different stages.

"Learning is the process whereby knowledge is created through the transformation of experience." David Kolb

The Kolbs Model is a four-stage learning cycle. There are naturally four distinct learning styles and everybody has preferred ways of grasping (CE & AC) and transforming (RO & AE) experience (show my Kolb Kite). I tried to increase my learning capacity and outcomes by going consciously through all different learning stages (individual Kolb Kite for each project). Learning can only be effective, if a learner executes all four stages of the model consciously.

The four stages of the cycle are:

• Concrete Experience (Feel, Do): having a (new) experience or a reinterpretation of an old one
• Reflective Observation (Watch, Reflect): review and reflect on the  experience you just gained
• Abstract Conceptualisation (Think, Theorize): learning from the experience; reflection gives rise to a new idea or a modification of an existing abstract concept
• Active Experimentation (Do, Apply): plan and try out what you have learned
