If we consider that learning is a process centred on the individual,
driven by a complex combination of motives, linked with projects
and expectations, it is important to understand the reasons that can
drive adults towards learning.
A deeper look into the motives for pursuing learning in higher
education shows that adult motives are plural and related to the
specific period of each person's life story (age, employment situation,
etc.). Results of this research highlights that there is a strong relation
between epistemic motives, higher levels of education and training,
and interest in pursuing learning.

The purpose of the teaching observations was to help staff improve their teaching skills
for both their individual professional development and the benefit of the student-teacher learning
environment.

Abstract: In order to improve teaching and learning within a faculty, an action
research intervention involving peer observation of teaching staff via an expert
was designed and implemented. A total of ten staff (including the first author) were
observed over the year. The process consisted of observation at class, a written
report, discussion between teacher and observer, and a group debrief. A follow-up
written questionnaire was emailed to the ten participants and the qualitative
responses were analyzed. Key findings for practice were: that staff recommended
the process be continued; that it remain voluntary; that an external expert be
retained; that the group processes were important; and that there be ongoing
follow-up.

Peer review has been advocated for as an intentional strategy to support the knowledge and skill
attainment of adult learners preparing for professional practice, including those students preparing
for instructional design and technology practice. The purposes of this article are to discuss the
practical application of peer review as an instructional strategy by articulating its use in both face-toface
and online Instructional Design courses and to formulate directions for future research on the
use of peer review in instructional practice. Findings from a literature review of student-to-student
peer review and the authors' experiences with the use of peer review in Instructional Design courses
are used to foster a discussion that interweaves both important scholarly and practical elements.
