What is Adult Learning?
What is Adult Learning?

The entire range of formal & informal learning activities

which are undertaken by adults after a break since
leaving initial education and training, and which results
in the acquisition of new knowledge and skills.

Learning experiences are created with the assumptions

that adults come to the table with their own set of life
experiences and motivations, can direct their own
learning, tend to learn better by doing, and will want to
apply their learning to concrete situations sooner rather
than later.
