通识教育是本科课程的重要组成部分。然而，学生并不总是热衷于学习通识教育。体验式教学法是激发学生学习动机的策略之一。虽然许多以前的研究在该领域进行，如何体验式学习工程与信息和通信技术（ICT）在高等教育教学的通识教育的关注值得更多的关注。因此，通过采用Kolb的学习周期从经验学习理论，本文提出了一种创新的教学方法，实施体验式学习与（出）采用信息技术在香港的一所大学提供的通识教育课程，并已成功地实施了三年的课堂设置，以提高学习动机和巩固学习经验。数据收集自民族志，然后通过会话分析和定性内容分析进行分析。本研究提出的教学方法，对于将体验式学习超越个人层面，以成本效益高的方式将学生的学习从课堂内扩展到课堂外具有重要意义。
General education constitutes a significant portion of undergraduate curriculum. However, students are not always keen on learning general education. Pedagogy of experiential learning is one of the strategies in arousing their learning motivation. Although many previous pieces of research were conducted in the field, attention on how experiential learning works with information and communication technology (ICT) on teaching general education at higher education deserves more attention. Thus, by adopting Kolb's learning cycle from Experiential Learning Theory, this paper suggests an innovative pedagogical approach of implementing experiential learning with(out) adopting ICT in a general education course offered by one of the universities in Hong Kong and has been successfully implemented for three years within classroom setting to enhance learning motivation and consolidate learning experience. Data were collected from auto-ethnography and then analysed through conversation analysis and qualitative content analysis. Through proposing the pedagogical approach, this study is significant in transforming experiential learning beyond personal level and extending students' learning from within to beyond classroom setting in a cost-effective manner.
