ABSTRACT. Experiential learning in online education has gained significant attention. This study explores the application of experiential learning theory in an asynchronous online teaching environment, focusing on a workshop designed to simulate an organisational restructuring and help students experience resistance to change. The workshop, conducted in an online MbA Change Management course, was adapted from face-to-face to asynchronous delivery using common virtual campus tools. A mixed methods approach combined student reflections and pre/post-workshop surveys. Results revealed students successfully navigated all stages of experiential learning and revised their prior ideas on change resistance in professional settings. The study highlights the potential of asynchronous experiential learning to enhance the understanding and application of theoretical concepts in change management. notably, successful implementation requires detailed planning but not necessarily advanced technology, making it viable for institutions with limited resources.
