Interactive Presentations

As per Malcolm Knowles, adults learn best when they:

• Are asked to memorize everything they read.

• Are told exactly how to learn something.

• Listen to audio lectures.

• Are asked to work on problems and solve them.

• Sit in the classroom and listen to the teacher for at least 2 hours.

Constructivism, as a theory explains that:

• It doesn’t matter if the subject has practical utility or not

• Adults build their learning upon their experience.

• It’s easier to teach fragmented facts than integrated material.

• People learn from each other while working together.

• People learn from their social environment.
