This approach also makes students with different learning styles, such as those who learn best kinesthetically rather than verbally feel more competent in the classroom:
One of the greatest 'resources' for a truly interactive classroom is a flexibly-minded instructor who is willing to use the community as a resource, and to demand more from his or her students. Experiential learning is often more time-consuming for both the teacher as well as the student. The teacher must engage in more creative assignment creation and grading techniques. Another important resource is a willingness of the community to work with educators. This can include a teaching hospital that fosters the development of new nursing students, a local workplace that helps young people volunteer and find service-oriented jobs, and the financial resources to create laboratories within the classroom using new media as well as traditional book and exams.
But while finances are certainly important, so is being able to find information about programs and outside venues -- thus a high-quality library and career center is essential to an experiential classroom....
Administrators who are willing to incorporate outside events into the budget, department heads who do not see creative exercises as a waste of time are all important 'human' resources to create the university of tomorrow. Young and older adults alike, anxious that their degree will translate into a profession, are likely to be more eager students in the experiential classroom. They are fighting for their future, learning crucial skills, as well striving to get a better grade. Experiential learning is about understanding, not merely pleasing the teacher -- it is about pleasing yourself.

Security at workplaces is not only the responsibility of the management, but all the parties in the premises. Therefore, it is important that everyone is involved one way or another in maintenance of security.
