For adult learners, the transfer is best achieved when content:Builds directly on background knowledge Provides opportunities to make connections and build upon concepts within instructional design Is relevant and applicable to the field of interest
The goal is the “transfer” of knowledge
Transfer = taking what you learn in the classes and
applying it to the real world

Learning Design
"Spiraled curriculum": content intentionally repeats
(but at a higher level/stage each time). Facilitates content retention through:
-
Connections: easier to make connections when content continues to "repeat" or "spiral" through itself
-
Spaced repetition: adult learners need to learn the same information multiple times, in multiple contexts, with increasingly difficult applications, for it to best stick
-
Interleaving: mixing content or introducing a concept and then going back to it much later with other content taught in between, best enhances recall (most similar real life!)
