  1. I appreciated how you mentioned that family and job obligations have a great influence in how adult learners will learn. We all have experienced this but it is so important to remember especially if we find ourselves teaching adult.

  2. Great job!

    Your video is very informative. It is user friendly...meaning it held the viewers attention. It is important to remember that when adults return to education it is because they choose to learn something new. Well done!!!

  3. Emmorfia, I really enjoyed the music! It kept me motivated and engaged in the presentation. There were a lot of great facts embedded in your video. It was interesting to know that adult learners usually resist change and are fearful of failure. I wonder if this is why most of them usually begin school later on in life versus directly after highschool. Also, I completely agree with remembering all of the roles of an adult learner when instructing this group. This way there is a better chance of reaching them and encouraging their success.

  4. Hi Emmorfia-
    Like Bethany, I too appreciated the mention of the "other lives" of adult learners. All to often life interferes with very little warning, and we need to prepare our lessons in a fashion can handle such occurences
