About
As an instructor of adults, you must consider carefully whether your instructional methods are appropriate in relation to both your lesson content and your learners. In this course, you will think about students’ backgrounds and motivation as well as your own teaching style to help you determine the best delivery methods for your lesson.
Please note: While this course can be taken alone, we recommend that you take it as part of the more comprehensive Instructor Training Certificate program. If you are taking the course outside of the certificate program, you will be assessed only via the multiple choice quiz. You are welcome to work on the portfolio assignment, but you will not be able to upload your assignment for individual feedback from our expert course instructors.
