Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) are offered on diverse topics in an attempt to reach global audiences. MOOCs have helped address limitations to educational access, yet the dropout rates are notoriously high. Many argue that high attrition in MOOCs is because the instructional design often does not align with the needs of adult learners. Adult…

Ravn, Ib; Elsborg, Steen – International Journal of Learning and Change, 2011
The typical conference consists of a series of PowerPoint presentations that tend to render participants passive.

Ayachi, Zeineb – Reading Matrix: An International Online Journal, 2015
The new market place has dictated on adults the use of English as it is the first international language used in business.

Contrary to…
