Workshop Description

Introduction:

In order for adult learners to meet their educational and related life goals, they need to stick with their online courses. And often they don’t. This workshop, aiming to improve adult learner persistence, will be linked to research of techniques and tools used to support persistence in an online ESOL course for adults. Drawing from research in “Making It Worth the Stay: Findings from the New England Adult Learner Persistence Project” (The New England Literacy Resource Center, 2009), you will discover new ways to motivate the learners you work with to stick to it!

Resources Provided:

Presentations, readings, web links, discussion threads and other materials, viewable online for 1 year
1-Hour Live Workshop Orientation - Learn about Moodle 2.2 and BlackBoard Collaborate. Navigate the workshop space
1-Hour Live Panel Discussion - Participation in Live Q&A
Viewing of Live Sessions available for 1 year

Learning Objectives:

Summarize key obstacles to persistence and research findings on successful approaches
Analyze tools and the techniques for using them
Apply selected approaches to your practice
