Adult Learners• Adult learner (aka mature student) is a term used to describe any person socially
accepted as an adult who is in a learning process, whether it is formal education, informal learning, or corporate-sponsored learning.
• Adult learners are considered distinct from child learners due primarily to the work of Malcolm Knowles, who developed the principle of Andragogy. Adult learners fall into the category of nontraditional students, whom the National Center for Education Statistics defines as meeting at least one of the following seven criteria:
• Delays enrollment (does not enter postsecondary education in the same calendar year that he or she finished high school).
• Attends part time for at least part of the academic year.• Works full time (35 hours or more per week) while enrolled.• Is considered financially independent for purposes of determining eligibility for financial
aid.• Has dependents other than a spouse (usually children, but sometimes others).• Is a single parent (either not married or married but separated and has dependents).• Does not have a high school diploma (completed high school with a GED or other high
school completion certificate or did not finish high school).
Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.

Handouts Can Set You Free!
Is your computer like a bicycle for your mind?
During the planning state of a presentation, does your computer function as a “bicycle for your mind,” amplifying your own capabilities and ideas, or is it more like a “car for your mind” with prepackaged formulas that make your ideas soft?
Your mind benefits when you use your computer like a bike but loses out when you rely only on your computer’s power the way you rely on your car’s power. It’s important to understand principles of presentation creation, and design, not merely software applications rules to be obediently followed or the tips and tricks of the day.
One way to ensure that your computer and your software applications remain great tools of amplification for your ideas and your presentation is to first turn off your computer and walk away from it.

The 1 – 7 – 7 rule: What is it? Have only one main idea per slide Insert only seven lines of text maximum. Use only seven words per line maximum. The question is though: Does this work? Is this method really good advice? Is this really an appropriate, effective “visual”? This slide has just seven bullet points.
