Characteristics of Adult Learners
Below is a comparison of the learning characteristics of adult learners and youth learners. Of course, these are generalizations with exceptions occurring in each group of learners, but you may want to keep these differences in mind as you consider the learner population you expect in your online course.

Dianne,
Once again I have really enjoyed your blog! I found both of your topics for Nov. 29th to be interesting but since I teach 6th grade your flipping the classroom was more pertinent. Flipping the classroom is a technique that I have been introduced to before. I am thinking of using it but I am not exactly sure how? I really appreciated all of the examples you included in your post of schools all over the country successfully implementing this technique! There were so many different subjects covered that I know that if I apply myself I can figure out how to use it. Thanks for sharing and for giving me the confidence to try flipping my classroom!
