Description:

Adult learning ability is by and large considered a “net good” and is established through extra resources, the cultivation of experiences, and services like tutoring and test-taking. However, even with the proliferation of such tools, there is no single solution that can address the needs of a broad population of students. To address each learner’s individual needs, educators must equip themselves with as many methods as they can to ensure learners’ success.

Building and Maintaining Adult Learning Advantage is an essential publication that covers the varied facets of adult learning as well as how to keep learners on the cutting edge of their education. While covering a broad range of topics including collaborative learning, development motivation, and learning advantage constraints, this book introduces new, innovative strategies and methods for creating adult learner advantage. This book is ideally designed for educators, curriculum developers, instructional designers, digital content developers, analysts, administrators, researchers, academicians, and students.
