Adult education, particularly technology training, suffers from a lack of attention to instructional design. Instructors focus on technology, and on task sequences, rather than on ordering and presenting material in a way that an adult brain can best assimilate it. We teach grown-ups the same way we do ten-year-olds - and are surprised when those adults are less than successful at retaining and applying what they've allegedly learned. Master instructor Don Jones, author of more than 50 technology books, has taught tens of thousands of adults to be Immediately Effective (TM) in a variety of technologies. Jones' approach focuses on careful sequencing of data and leveraging the natural learning tendencies of the adult human brain, enabling students to immediately apply new skills and techniques the minute they leave the classroom and return to their job.
