Technology-based components

The digital age has provided a tremendous opportunity to use Technology-based components for instruction and training purposes. As an adult educator/trainer, you will need to be aware of how to use technology as an instructional tool for engagement and what to consider when integrating the tool for instruction and/or training. As part of this, you will also need to be able to align the technology to adult learning research/theory, principles, and strategies. In this assignment, you research to learn more about current, new, and upcoming technology and trends that influence adult learning and share your knowledge in a presentation. 

Research the following:

  • Technology-based components (e.g., podcasts, blogs, videos, interactive tutorials, social networking tools such as Twitter® or Facebook®) that may be used for adult instructional and/or training purposes
  • New and/or upcoming trends in the field of adult education and training

Create an 8- to 12-slide technology research presentation on trends in adult instruction and training. Address the following in your presentation:

  • Select a minimum of 3 technology-based components from your research and do the following for each one:
  • Describe the technology-based component, including the materials and/or skills needed for use and the benefits to the adult learner.
  • Describe the purpose of the technology-based component, including potential lessons/topics for use and strategies for implementation.
  • Explain the motivational and engagement factors to consider, based on the theory of andragogy, when incorporating the technology-based component.
  • Explain the connection between the technology-based component and adult learning research, theory, and/or principles.
  • Explain how the digital age and modern technologies are changing the ways adults learn.
  • Propose new trends that are, or may be, coming to adult education and training.

Cite all sources according to APA guidelines, including in-text citations and a reference slide in the presentation.

Submit your assignment.
