EdTech Center News: New 21 CLEO Blog Post
|
|
This is our first in a series of blog posts where we’ll share personas we’ve generated from talking to working learners through our research on employer-supported learning. In this blog post we describe Alimayu. This persona focuses on the experiences of a college-educated retail worker learning English. He is an independent learner who desires a future career in information systems. He works two jobs, often 16 hours a day so he has little extra time for learning, yet he persists toward his goal. |

Science of Adult Learning:
Strategies to Support Adults’ Learner Variability |
|
|
Digital Promise’s Learner Variability Project just launched an evidence-based Adult Learner Model that may be used to improve instructional strategies and tech-enabled learning products for adult learners, from basic to higher education and workforce training. The model is built on a whole learner framework of adult literacies, cognition, social-emotional learning, and learner background—all of which research shows are essential factors of learning.
Join guests Medha Tare and Sarah Cacicio from ETC partner Digital Promise on February 12, 2021 for our Distance Education Strategy Session, where they will highlight tools and strategies from the model within a distance learning context.
