7.0 Limitations and Extensions
This study is subject to several limitations. First, the study is intended to serve as an exploratory
investigation into the use of experiential field projects in a systems analysis and design context. As such, the results
presented relate to one course administered over two years by one instructor. Further, we addressed only one type of
experiential learning, the experiential field project. With a small sample size and specific experiential context, the
results of this study may not extend to other courses, instructors, or settings.
While the project discussed in this paper was conducted as a separate course, experiential projects can also
be implemented as a component of an existing course. Future research in this area could focus on measuring the
learning differentials of students involved in experiential learning projects versus those involved in more traditional
types of courses, as well as differentiating among the benefits of various types of experiential learning opportunities,
such as group field projects, simulations, and other active learning projects. Further research may provide more
generalizable results as the number of courses, instructors, and contexts studied are expanded.
