This post is about the first class of Adult Learning. We held the first class in the F wing in Classroom 210. The class is a mixture of new and old MAIT students. There is a learning curve in the online approach so it is always interesting to see how people learn.
This is a link to my adult learning website from a few semesters ago. We were studying theorists and I was assigned to the group that was to create a lesson based on the principles of adult learning. The website has resources and other materials.
The six principles of Andragogy are in the graphic below.
Since we are working on adult learning, and using the on-line format, I am going to enhance what I am studying with a course taught in Coursera. The course is taught by a teacher at Georgia Tech, Fatimah Wirth and is a free six week online course, Fundamentals of Online Education: Planning and Application.
This is the link to the Coursera website:
There are a number of courses that work well with the MAIT program.
