ACEE Archive

The Australian Consortium on Experiential Education (ACEE) was a community of Practice providing its members with a supportive and challenging environment to develop and disseminate knowledge about cooperative learning, knowledge sharing and challenging boundaries.

A journal – A Quarterly Experience (AQE) – was published by the ACEE beginning sometime in 1981. Issues 1-5 are not currently available, but most of the issues for the next 20 years are included here. The first issue of AQE included here is from September 1983, and the last one is from 1999.

For a brief period the AQE became the Australian Journal of Experiential Learning (AJEL), and the available issues of that Journal are also included. 

Many people mentioned in these journals continued to work in the general field of experiential learning long after the last issues were printed.

The International Consortium on Experiential Learning (ICEL) was an international Community of Practice which sponsored conferences occurring during the same decades. ACEE members were closely involved in many of the international conferences so relevant materials from some of those conferences are also included in this archive.

This archive of the AQE and the AJEL is made available courtesy of funds from the 2008 ICEL conference held at UTS in Sydney. These funds contributed to two further ICEL conferences, hosted by universities in Santiago, Chile and Lima, Peru, before the sequence ended when the next host team were unable to fulfil their commitments. The funds were held in trust for some time before a collaboration between ACEE representatives and the Board of Simulation Australasia enabled the development of this archive.

The digitised materials held in this archive include ACEE and ICEL
