Importance of Relevance in Adult Learning

Mature Adult Tech Training - Importance of Relevance in Adult Learning

Adult children of mature or senior parents can help nudge parents toward the technology they will use everyday.

We all hear, “In these challenging times, we must  ….. ”

In my professional experience, one of the most difficult tasks to accomplish in adult learning: Making Learning Relevant and Interesting to the Mature Adult.

Whether training mature learners in best use of smart phones, internet apps, iPhones, iPads and more – training has to be interesting and on-target – and fun!

A fundamental tenet of adult learning is Relevance.

As a technology instructor working exclusively with mature adults (55+), I see this in my students’ decisions about what they want to learn.

I think we are seeing a shift in what senior adults deem “relevant” to their daily lives.

This is especially true when a senior adult has technology-savvy children and grandchildren.

We must find a way to help our less-than-tech-savvy parents find value and relevance in technology!

Now, more than ever – mobile device and internet resources, tools and apps are increasingly relevant … if not absolutely necessary.

Basic Internet Apps and Resources to Know and Use:

In 2020, basic internet resources and apps to know are:

1) Online Shopping

2) Online Grocery Pickup and Delivery

3) Web Conferencing (Zoom and Others)

4) Social Media (Facebook and Instagram)

5) Mobile Device Apps and Techniques

6) Resources for Email and Safely Surfing the Internet

Senior Adults Increasingly Favor Mobile Devices for Internet Access

In my work, I am seeing a shift away from use and learning centered on desktop and laptop computer applications and systems.

Mature Adults are increasingly wanting tech learning centered on mobile devices and internet resources.

In our role as adult children of mature or senior parents, we can help nudge our parents toward technology they can put to use everyday.
Adult children can help senior parents use technology by:

• Highlighting the value of internet resources and apps.

• Showing adult learners how technology can help them overcome obstacles in their lives.

• And, by demonstrating how their lives are enhanced through the adoption of technology.

In my classes, I have seen how iPhone Facetime, Skype – and now Zoom – have made the mature adults in my circle feel more included – and much less isolated.

In my classes, Mature Adults can easily learn to:

• Video Conference
• Share Photographs
• Share News Articles
• Send Text Messages

Each of these tools can help alleviate feelings of isolation.

Also, as we celebrate graduations and special events among the younger family members – mobile device technology and internet resources help families include grandparents and senior members in all family activities.
