Module overview

The module is aimed at providing a broad overview of adult learning and adult learners. It touches upon FE, HE and work based learning. It aims to explore the barriers and enablers to adult learning and how such learning is a vital part of the world of work. It considers the perspectives of learning from a range of stakeholders view points and examines how these factors compete and interact. It aims to explore the underpinning learning theory that most impacts upon adults and their learning environment. Finally, it considers why learning in organisations may be ineffective and how attempts can be made to maximise the impact of learning at work.
