Adults learn differently. Utilize their existing knowledge; collectively, they always know more than you. Let them learn independently; they need to be able to carry what they learn into their own environment toward their own goals with their own motivations. Give them group activities; adult learners work effectively through interaction with peers and colleagues – their learning has a corporate context. That said, teaching children can really drive home an understanding of learning styles that persist through adulthood. Utilize multiple presentation methods.
