  • Summary

    In Chapter 3: Adult Learning Principles, we explain that all postsecondary learners are adult learners. You will explore our view of adult learning that includes cognitive, social, and emotional aspects. These three aspects are then woven into our adult learning process. A discussion of adult learning assumptions follows, with suggestions on how to apply those assumptions in your online course. We also introduce the application of semiotics for inclusion of diverse learners. We conclude the chapter by highlighting the importance of resources and the impact of power on your learners and addressing the validity of some commonly held beliefs about learning.
