Creating Courses for Adults: Design for Learning 1st Edition – (PDF/EPUB Version)

This is the book that a new educator can pick up, use to design their first few lessons, and then come back to as their practice develops. Creating Courses for Adults is based on existing evidence and research about the ways adults learn and the best ways to teach them, and it contains a matrix for approaching learning for adults. It is written in accessible language appropriate for teachers–both new and experienced–who want to know more about making their teaching more effective. Creating Courses for Adults is an entry point to teaching adults for people who perhaps never intended to be educators. It is a resource to help them think through the decisions they have to take immediately, reassure them that teaching adults is something they can do, and provide pointers to approaching teaching systematically. The book is designed to take people on to further reading as their experience and knowledge grows.
