"Adult learner behaviors in workplace vs. educational environments"
The advent of technologically driven distance education has triggered
a revolution in every kind of adult instruction and learning, but
understanding adult learners is critical to effective instructional
development. In this discussion, we will investigate the attitudinal,
motivational, experiential and resultant behavioral factors impacting
adult distance learning in a variety of technological environments.
