            Abstract : 
Both flow and experiential learning emphasize the importance of the learning environment and the choice of task. In this paper, we study experiential learning and flow theory. Experiential learning provides an intentional method for structuring hands-on learning and could have implications for learner engagement. Flow theory has been studied with regard to learner interest, involvement, and enjoyment using self-rating scales. Facilitating a learner´s movement toward flow using a teacher-chosen topic has not been addressed.
