Our Goals for This Article

Our goals in writing this article were to help you understand:

• What distinguishes effective learning programs for adult learners and
• How many of these principles can be applied in online learning programs.

And by showing you and engaging you in examples of these principles, we expect that you will be able to:

• Use these examples as models for similar exercises in your own online programs and
• Decide which types of student engagement will work best for your learners.

We hope that our goals are consistent with or complement the ones you identified. At the end of this article we will return to these goals and redisplay them next to yours so you can assess the extent to which they have been met and thereby get a better idea of the value of this experience to you.
