- Abstract
-
Adult learners often experience significant environmental and/or
physiological challenges when returning to learning environments not experienced by
their younger counterparts. The researcher hypothesized that a one-day workshop
covering concepts associated with cognitive functioning is an effective strategy to help
adult learners overcome challenges faced in online learning environments. A quasiexperimental
study was designed to address these factors through the use of a
technology-based instructional unit, while determining if various measurements can be
used to gauge successful learning outcomes. Based on the findings of the study, the
researcher concluded that a one-day workshop covering concepts associated with
cognitive functioning is an effective strategy to help adult learners overcome challenges
faced in online learning environments. - Downloads
