In order to prepare students for the demands of this new century change in the way teaching and learning occurs must take place. Learning environments must become more authentic, by giving students the opportunities to use higher order thinking and problem solving skills connected to real world applications (Fouts, 2000). It is this need along with the change in the current student population that has led to the rethinking of learning theories and the revamping of learning environments. These new theories whose foundations are based on older educational theories are vastly different in their methods of teaching and learning.
I like the idea of creating authentic learning environments for higher order thinking, engagement, and promoting problem solving skills for 21st century learners. 4/5

This article, developed by faculty members at NAU, provides research behind and practices for technology-infused professional development (PD) programs. The authors first emphasize the importance of designing professional development for teachers around how they and their students learn best. Many approaches to PD have taken a one-size-fits-all approach in which learners take a more passive role in absorbing standardized information. The authors in this article suggest the need for a more effective model, one in which teachers play an active role in learning in ways that they find most effective for them and their students. Technology can support this PD through interactive and learner-centered instruction. Rating: 9/10

Using Technology to Help First-Gen Students
This article highlights the need for and benefits of implementing more technology tools to support first-generation college students' learning, engagement, and success. For many first-gen students, especially those from low-income backgrounds, the transition to college can be challenging; this leads to lower retention rates, performance, and confidence. The authors, drawing off of research, suggest mobile devices and Web 2.0 technologies to prevent these challenges. Example of such tools include dictionary and annotation apps that are readily-accessible and aid in students' understanding of material. Fist-gen students can also use social media apps (Twitter, Facebook, etc.) to maintain supportive connections with family, peers, and mentors. Rating: 8/10

Using Technology to Help First-Gen Students
This article explains the importance of higher education institutions utilizing technology to better serve their first generation students and states that studies show that doing this helps this cohort of students. Ways that technology can be used is by providing information to help the student maneuver through college since these students do not have parents to give them the information of past experience and they might be too embarrassed to ask for help. Other ways technology can be used is through augmented learning to provide real world experiences, and social media to give the students a sense of community with their peers. This article also states the importance of instructors utilizing as much technology as possible as well.

In the text "10 Current and Emerging Trends in Adult Education," ten current trends are briefly reviewed. Among these are the emphasis on effort, growth, and social-emotional learning. In terms of technology, real-life simulations and AI are being used to better prepare learners for their professional encounters and responsibilities. In terms of what is on the horizon for adult learning, one can expect mastery to be emphasized rather than degrees. As a result of the information economy, it is expected that income inequality will grow and thus advocacy for adult learners and continued opportunities for working adults to grow will mitigate the negative consequences.

From 2000–2009, these institutions have seen a 30% increase in enrollment of students aged 25 and over, with these groups making up 39%–42% of the total enrollment in these institutions
Institutions see an increase in non-traditional enrollment. These populations bring different perspectives to the classroom. Faculty are learning to adapt to the increasing use of technology to deliver content to students. Delivery modes also consist of a better use of distant education campuses. This is an opportunity to modify institutions' education design to better suit new student populations.

Touching problem Image copyright Thinkstock It is easy to assume that older people will find a gadget as simple to use as you do. As an iPad user, I saw no reason my mother could not get to grips with it - but, actually, it is not as simple as that.The response time for icons on an Apple screen is 0.7 seconds, but the over-65s have a response time of about one second.Using touchscreens may come naturally enough to a toddler but not necessarily for an older person - the nerves in the finger become less sensitive with age, meaning older people may "touch" far more heavily.And tests suggest that if an older person has a slight tremor, it can be registered on a device as a swipe rather than a touch."It is these subtle issues that erode confidence and cause confusion," says Chris Bignell, a spokesman for Emporia Telecom, which has designed a smartphone specifically for older people. Image copyright Emporia Image caption The Emporia phone has a detachable keyboard
This idea that the touch of an older adults fingers are different from that of a younger person is very interesting to me and I never would have thought that this would make a difference when touching a screen or buttons on a device.

Andragogy theory acknowledges that adults bring a wealth of experience to their learning and use it as a base when they learn. Learning is more successful when adults make connections between their past experience and new information they are learning, or when they see how learning is relevant to them and their lives. It is important to incorporate a variety of perspectives in design because adult learners have different educational backgrounds, and life experiences.

Technology can hurt students’ learning, research shows
This article explains how research has been done in Europe recently and found that a classroom that had technologies for their students did worse than classrooms that did not. It did however find that classrooms where teachers had technologies did significantly better. The study also found that classrooms where the teachers used a blended approach of learning and combined both teacher-directed learning and inquiry-based teaching did better than classrooms that just used one approach.

This ebook talks about autism and the college student. It is the responsibility of colleges and universities to accommodate people with disabilities including those with autism. If a child has an IEP in most cases he can expect to receive the same or adequate accommodations. Some assistive technologies that universities can offer are computers, Live Scrib smart pens, calculators, Dragon Voice recognition software. The importance of knowing and understanding that there are a wide spectrum on the autistic scale means that with assistive technology an entire door is open to people that can lead to more independence and positive contributions to the world. For reference pages 12, 16, and 19 directly discuss AT. Score 9/10

This is an interesting article for assistive technology in adult literacy as you can listen to it like a person with LD would. Initially, it was beneficial, but load times and generic voice are challenging for me, but I am not used to using the AT device. Also interesting is the lack of study on the matter of LD in adult literacy, and therefore this study is really "surveying the gaps." Sadly, what we do know is that minority LD students rates for graduation are lower than whites with LD, and that the dropout rates are higher as well. LD students access to AT may be key to understanding the dynamics of graduation and drop out rates in addition to literacy. A proven solution is small group tutoring with AT as it can be empowering and enabling LD students to learn.

This article studies assistive technology and website courses the usage, extent of use, and patterns of 964 students with and without LD. The study showed that student's with LD accessed their online classroom more times than students without LD. In addition, LD student's posted more messages in the classroom, understand better how to use the classroom forum, and assistive technology. The study used the Hope Scale and the Subject of Well Being Scale through questionnaires where in both the student's scored higher than those without LD. I like the article, easy to understand and not complicated. 8/10

This article discusses the narrowing gap between asisstive technology and instructional technology. Assistive Technology are strategies (although techniques in another article) used by learners with disabilities to overcome adversity in their education. Many of the technologies used in school today also assist those with disabilities. This is exciting because as technology grows people that have trouble reading printed material, or understanding material can use computer devices to read, learn, and understand.

As online learning matures, it is important for both theorists and practitioners to understand how to apply new and emerging educational practices and technologies that foster a sense of community and optimize the online learning environment. To accomplish this goal, it is criti-cal that researchers continue testing instruc-tional-design theories and models in different online contexts and either build upon those theories and models or develop new ones that will provide appropriate and relevant guidance
The article by Martha Snyder aims to inform that effective instructional design theories should be implemented to best engage and impact learners to create a "community". The research paper introduces a model that supports a sense of community; it is three theoretical frameworks: Learning communities, Adult Learning Theory, and Constructivism. The article the progresses to identify and provide examples on the components of the actual model: Design Theory Goal, Design Theory Values, and Design Theory Methods. Many different methods are reviewed that are deemed effective and can be manipulated to influence behavior. For example, establish trust and rapport, maintaining consistency, encouraging public sharing of information, and confirming member expectations are a few effective methods to include within the instructional-design theory to create a sense of "community" in an online learning environment.

Those experiences, plus the work of Malcolm Knowles and Margery Ginsberg and research into the role of technology in adult learning, helped me understand that it is essential to provide that same type of engaging learning experience when considering professional development through e-learning.
The journal article by S. Farris provided a comprehensive review of the core components to include in the design of an online learning initiative- based off her experience and data collected from courses implemented earlier in her career. Farris reviewed tools to incorporate into the design such as pre-assessments for learners to determine skill levels and other tools such as troubleshooting technology-based issues. The crucial information provided in the articles was covering core strategies on how to include group collaboration that is typically associated with in-person learning. However, Farris reviewed strategies of incorporating tools, such as discussion board, VoiceThread for discussions, group project, and more. Farris reviewed effective technological tools to leverage to incorporate the group and collaborative dynamic. (Rating: 8/10)

The Studio curriculum in the Learning, Design, and Technology (formerly Instructional Technology) program at a large research-extensive university in the southeastern U.S. represents a deliberate application of contemporary theory of how adults learn complex information in ill-structured domains. The Studio curriculum, part of a graduate program leading to a master’s degree, has been implemented since 1998 to prepare professionals to design, develop, evaluate, and manage educational multimedia. Theoretical considerations played a major role in shaping the design of the Studio curriculum. Prominent among these were constructionism, situated cognition/situated learning, and self-directed learning. Important related theoretical constructs included scaffolding and flow theory. This paper describes the Studio learning environment, presents these theoretical concepts, and discusses the application of theory to practice in the training of adults in instructional design and development (IDD).
This peer reviewed research article conducted by two University of Georgia researchers aims to assess the effectiveness of constructionist-centered “The Studio” curriculum within the Learning, Design, and Technology program. The method is used is reviewing design of the curriculum, the learning environment, theoretical concepts, and review of application methods. The research review is helpful in identifying how the constructionist-based, collaborative model is designed and implemented in contrast to the one-course/one-instructor model. In addition, the article outlines the general practices and framework for design under the constructionist learning theory. (Rating: 5/10)

a training needs assessment is a pro-cess through which a trainer collects and analyzes information, then creates a training plan. This pro-cess determines the need for the training; identifies training needs; and examines the type and scope of resources needed to support training
This article by Tracey Cekada is an excellent resource what defining a "needs assessments", why they are necessary, and how to properly conduct one. I found this helpful because in completing a needs assessment, a facilitator could obtain data before beginning a course as to learner needs and gaps. With the data, it could give early indicators on strategies and resources will be needed to integrate learners and technology together- especially if the learners have technological gaps or are hesitant in using the technology. The article provides a general framework for McClelland's needs assessment model that provides an 11 step process. In closing, the article reviews core effective components of a needs assessment and real-life examples for the reader to observe how it can be applied in real world scenarios. (Rating: 7/10)

Due to the time constraintsof intensive online courses, instructional design strategies should be modifiedin order to retain the quality of learning without reducing the quantity of the course content. This paper presents how ablended approach combiningobjectivist and constructivist instructional strategies was used in the designof an intensive summer online course in the context of a support-based online learning environment
The paper by Sue-Jen Chen reviews a research study where a objectivist-constructivist blended approach was applied to an intensive online course at an educational institution. This approach was adopted to ensure that valuable and quality content was not lost for the learners, but still met the time constraints of the course. The article continues by promoting that the instructor should take lead in facilitating the content, but still providing options to the learner that applies to their motivations, interest and it relevant to their past experiences. A "blended approach" framework is presented that consists of four core components: content, people, technology, and goals/learning tasks. The article concludes by providing detailed examples of how each component would look in a real life example by giving details of the study conducted. (Rating: 10/10)

This article, therefore, discusses constructivism learning theory as a paradigm for teaching and learning. Constructivism is a learning theory found in psychology which explains howpeople might acquire k nowledge and learn.
The article by Dr. Steve Bada outlines the constructivism learning theory and the overall benefits to adult learners. The article starts by providing preliminary information about constructivism and how the learning theory is centered around self-directed learning (SDL). In addition, the article reviews how the theory takes into consideration that adults learn best when they incorporate their past experiences to assist in developing new knowledge- the knowledge is constructed from past knowledge; built upon. Two important notions are outlined: learners are construct new knowledge from things they already know and that the learning process is more active than passive. The article then reviews the general benefits, implications, and principals of adopting a constructivism learning theory in the classroom; both for learners and facilitators. (Rating: 9/10)
