| M1.S00 | Visual direction: Show the course title, introduction and lesson choices. Keep the navigation menu available. On-screen text: Adult learning in practice Practise applying adult learning principles to workplace learning. Analyse Alex’s fictional onboarding plan, explore six adult learning assumptions and choose improvements across five workplace scenarios, including a conversation where your choices lead to different outcomes. Then explain one change to a learning experience of your choice, supported by an example explanation, self-check and read design worksheet. An optional redesign challenge provides tailored feedback and a summary of your choices. Designed for L&D practitioners and managers. Allow about 15-20 minutes; the optional challenge adds 3-5 minutes. You can revisit any section.

Listening is optional. Alex is an experienced customer service professional joining a new organisation. This fictional scenario gives you an onboarding plan to review from the learner’s perspective. “I have eight years of customer service experience. I am joining a new organisation, so I need to learn its systems, standards and escalation process. I want to handle customer cases confidently, not sit through everything I already know.” Think of an induction or training session that helped you become effective at work. What made it useful? Now think of one that held you back. Keep one difference in mind as you work through Alex’s situation. You can jot it in your own notes; this course does not collect or save your reflections.

Malcolm Knowles’ andragogy, an approach to adult learning, offers six useful assumptions for thinking about adult learners. Treat them as design lenses, rather than fixed rules about every adult. Prior experience, confidence, culture, access needs and the task can change how much guidance someone needs. Choice and support should work together.
