Adult learning. 1 Principles "Learning is a lifelong activity. Without realising it, adults continually learn throughout their lives in an informal way. However as the population ages, and the nature of jobs and work change, we need to address the perceived barriers faced by many adult learners in more formal situations. In this program we introduce the key principles of adult learning, including learning styles and some specific difficulties faced by older individuals. By understanding the barriers adult learners face, facilitators can help unlock potential advantages, decrease barriers to adult learning, and take advantage of the methods available to best engage and support adults in their on-going education"--Container.

Adult learning. 2 Styles "Learning is a part of life. We learn many different things in a variety of ways. For educators, it's all about finding the most effective learning styles for each individual to achieve success in the teaching environment. This program describes three main learning styles - visual, auditory and kinaesthetic - and the four personality types that all individuals display. It provides concrete examples of the main styles and encourages all educators to learn more about the composition of their classes. By making the effort to cater for different styles of individual adult learners and varying teaching techniques, teachers and students can experience successful learning outcomes."--Container.

Adult learning. 3 Inclusive practices "In the face of ever increasing levels of diversity, educators are grappling to create and maintain inclusive learning cultures and environments. As facilitators of learning we must develop awareness of, and respond to, the diversity of our learners. This program provides an essential introduction to inclusive learning by exploring strategies that promote diversity and support inclusion. We also discover how organisations can improve the workplace through encouraging a positive learning culture and adopting inclusive learning practices. Through implementing inclusive learning practices, educators and trainers can provide learning and assessment that embraces and encourages diversity in the learning environment"--Container.

Teaching ESL students in the mainstream classroom "It is vital for teachers to consider the language used in their subject area from an ESL learner's point of view. This informative program helps teachers accommodate ESL learners with real-life classroom examples and practical strategies. We explore how teachers can consider the language demands of their lessons and use non-verbal cues to enhance language comprehension. We then explain how language modeling builds learner confidence and how to differentiate between language and content when correcting. Finally we demonstrate the "Think- Pair-Share" strategy for concept checking and discuss the importance of integrating cognitive taxonomies and learning styles to build thinking skills"--Container.
