Abstract As online education increases its foothold in higher and professional education, educators must face the challenge of bringing experiential learning activities such as role‐play into online settings. Mediation courses rely heavily on role‐play, but are increasingly moving online. This literature review will ascertain to what extent online mediation training is being considered, and how experiential learning can be brought into the online classroom. Suggestions will be made as to how such courses can be informed by the theory and practice of effective learning design so as to improve the experience of, and outcomes for online students of mediation.
