Adult Learning Principles app for iPhone and iPad

‘InSight’ is EI Design’s ProductLine of online tutorials designed for global audience with varied experience levels. The first suite comprises of tutorials designed for aspiring eLearning professionals, on Instructional Design.

Mostly, we design courses for adults (except in the K-12 segment). How to create a course that we, as adults, would find interesting? This was our line of thought when we strategised for the app on Adult Learning Principles. We used a master scenario (similar to a case study) to create the app.

The master scenario has been used to:

1. Set the context for the learning principles
2. Connect back to each principle with related examples
3. Present instructional strategies that can be used to design courses for adults

Additionally, some dos and don’ts and guidelines have been presented to help Instructional Designers in creating meaningful and effective learning.

The aim of this app was to enable learners recall and apply the adult learning principles while designing actual courses. Realistic scenarios help in establishing an immediate connect with the learners and also ensure high recall. Real-world examples and scenarios also help in application of learning in actual work settings.

For eLearning enthusiasts, we recommend our suite of 15 tutorials.
