Workshop
Learner engagement is central to sustaining participation and progress in adult and community education. This workshop explores practical strategies for engaging and motivating learners across face‑to‑face and online learning environments. Participants will examine how engagement strategies can value non‑formal, flexible, and non‑linear learning, supporting learners to remain connected to their learning pathways.
You will explore:
- What learner engagement looks like in ACE contexts
- Strategies for motivating learners in face‑to‑face and online settings
- Designing learning activities that support flexible and non‑linear pathways

This workshop contributes evidence toward Area Three, Indicator 3.1 (p.4) through blended delivery strategies and learner engagement approaches. |
This workshop focuses on practical learner engagement strategies. It does not provide in‑depth coverage of inclusive design, neurodiversity, or learning differences, which are addressed in Workshop 5: Teaching for Diversity, Neurodiversity, and Inclusion.
