For this discussion take a look at some more “serious” videos from some of the leading authorities on action learningReg Revans is one of the early founders of action learning and his videos tend to be extremely serious in tone. Several of his classic videos are available on YouTube. More recent videos are also available by Michael Marquardt, another leading authority on action learning and author of one of the required background readings. Take a look at some videos from both of these action learning experts and share the links to couple videos that you found the most interesting or at least kept you awake.What are your overall impressions of Drs. Marquardt and Revans? Which one seemed to be more authoritative or better at explaining the concepts?

Let your classmates know what your recommendations are regarding these videos. This post should be in the first week of the module.For the second week of the module, compare and contrast the reading from Dr. Marquardt listed in the background readings to one of his videos.  Is his written style similar to his speaking style?  Was the material in the video and book chapter consistent with each other??ACTION LEARNING?Required MaterialFirst, start out with this short video:Kristiansen, T.
