CET 769
Adult Learning for Distance Education
Instructors: Dr. Dan Coldeway/Dr. Deb Gearhart
Course Description:
This course
identified critical features of adult learning and how they apply to
the issues in distance learning design, development, and
delivery. The primary focus was on the adult learner from all
current theoretical perspectives.
Course Reflections
This
course was done primarily over the DDN. We read assignments during the
week and discussed them over the DDN weekly. We also listened to guest
speakers who lectured on adult learning issues in distance education.
Midway through the course, our instructor Dr. Dan Coldeway, became very ill and
passed away. Although we were very sad, we were thankful for Dr. Deb
Gearhart, who took over the course for the remainder of the semester. For
our final project, we made group PowerPoint presentations on issues of relevance
to the adult learner in distance education. Tammie Munsen worked as a team
and presented a PowerPoint on "Adapting Instructional Methods Based on Adult
Learning Styles".
