Using Educator Portals and Vignettes with Adult Online Learners

摘要

Opportunities for success for adult educators in the online learning and teaching environment may be achieved through two different strategies: by the introduction of an educator's portal via a hybrid online institute and through vignettes in asynchronous discussions. Both strategies take into consideration techniques or methods used effectively approaching the adult learner, acknowledgment of the learner's prior knowledge and experiences, meeting the participants' needs, and what is important to facilitate a productive online experience.
