therefore, tapping into their
experiences through experiential techniques (discussions, simulations,
problem-solving activities, or case methods) is beneficial
They want to learn what will help them
perform tasks or deal with problems they confront in everyday situations and
those presented in the context of application to real-life
Andragogy urges teachers to base curricula on the learner's
experiences and interests
richest resources for learning reside in adult learners
themselves; therefore, emphasis in
this is very important especially from an online learning perspective which perhaps provides a range of opportunities and technologies to help facilitate this, but perhaps it is important to encourage the adult learners to bring those technologies to the course rather than the other way round
Discussion is the prototypic teaching method for active learning
so this could be facilitated in online tutorial groups and if they are run regularly each which someone allocated to take the notes and provide a summary of the tutorial and then others can feed into that summary etc.
