About this webinar

Adult learners bring increased complexity to the classroom – they have distinct expectations from, and motivations for, any learning they undertake, and they bring their life experiences and current circumstances to the learning arena. As trainers and assessors in VET, when we teach adults, we deal with these principles every day.

What’s interesting is that learning trends are moving away from teacher-led instruction toward student-centred and social learning—some of the very same principles that underpin adult learning theory and relate to the andragogical model. In this session, explore how to leverage these principles in your own practice to understand, encourage, and engage your adult learners.

Also, take a look at how digital teaching tools can support this kind of collaborative development of skills and knowledge.

Join this session to: 

• Refresh on the characteristics of adult learners 

• Update on key points within adult learning theory 

• Examine various instructional approaches that support adult learning theory 

• Explore four (4) different digital technologies ideal for adult learners in a student-centred learning environment and that you can use in your classroom / training room TODAY
