This is the 3rd Hendrick conference that I have attended. Here is a link to information about the conference: 2010 Hendrick Best Practices for Adult Learners Conference
I’ve included links to separate blogs on sessions that I attended:
- Student Panel Discussion
- Problem-Based Learning (PBL) in an Adult Learning Environment
- Prior Learning Assessment (PLA)
- Library Workshops for Adult Learners
- Keynote
I found this to a great opportunity to collect information about what is best in working with adult learners. As an instructional designer, I’m often developing strategies to help adults learn, but we don’t always have student data to make decisions. During time at this conference, there are ample opportunities to get this data.
One new idea used by the conference planners that I liked was to have my schedule printed on the back of my name tag. I often have notes in my calendar, but having it so readily available was much more efficient for me.
For all of you who also attended, I’d love to know what you thought.
