This video is based on “How Adult Education Can Inform Optimal Online Learning” in “Resilient Pedagogy: Practical Teaching Strategies to Overcome Distance, Disruption, and Distraction,” part of the Utah State University Empower Teaching Open Access Book Series (2021).
The Great Onlining of 2020 is a term used to describe the massive migration of on-ground courses to online learning environments. Simultaneously, the term online learning has become politicized and is now often erroneously assumed to be learning that is inferior. Dr. David S. Noffs and learning designer Krissy Wilson will share a conversation on the ways adult learning theory can inform engaging and effective online learning for all students – adults or otherwise.
After reviewing the differences between emergency remote teaching (ERT) and optimal online learning (OOL), we will review OOL key terms and walk participants through our model for using adult education strategies in online learning environments. In keeping with the conference theme of connections, we will also share OOL strategies from the classes we taught in 2020, connected with quotes from the theorists we cited in our chapter.
