Briefly define and ragogy and explain the relevancy of adult learning theories for both adult learners and instructors.

For the Signature Assignment, you will reflect on a personal learning experience that was more traditional in nature and conceptualize a new way to create that experience using six assumptions about adult learners (Knowles, Swanson, & Holton, 2011). Using appropriate APA style headings, include the following sections in your paper: Abstract: The abstract will provide the reader with an overview of the paper. Introduction: Briefly define and ragogy and explain the relevancy of adult learning theories for both adult learners and instructors. Traditional Learning Context: For this section of the paper, describe a learning experience or situation in which you were the learner in a traditional learning context. Select a situation in which the lecture or learning experience did not elicit or hold your interest. Use the following questions to help you develop the context: What was the setting of the learning experience? College campus? Conference? Business setting? Who was the instructor or speaker? What was the subject matter? Who was in the audience? Were you required to attend or not? What was the purpose of the lecture? Andragogy Reflection: Knowles, Swanson, and Holton (2015) asserted that traditional learning contexts do not always employ strategies that meet adult learning needs. Compare the traditional learning context that you described above to a hypothetical one that addresses the adult environment. Use the six assumptions to guide your response. From an adult learner perspective, address the following: Self-Directing: Discuss what learning outcome(s) would have worked better than the ones presented in the lecture. Experience: Describe how your experience in the traditional learning context could have contributed to others learning if it had been an adult-centered context, based on the information presented in the lecture. Social Role: Convey how the information could have related to your social role. Application: State how the information from the traditional learning context would have had immediate application to you if it had been delivered in a manner considerate of the adult environment. Internal Motivation: Clarify the need for you to have known the information from a personal perspective. Reason for Learning: Explain why you would have wanted to know the information based on your needs. Learning Styles: Would it have been helpful for the presenter to know the audience and their learning styles?

DESCRIBE MANAGED CARE AND ACCOUNTABLE CARE ORGANIZATIONS

Module 2 – SLP MANAGED CARE AND ACCOUNTABLE CARE ORGANIZATIONS The overall goal of the Session Long Project in this course is to examine health care delivery in the United States from a personal perspective and provide recommendations for improvement. According to the United States Census Bureau (2016), rural areas cover 97% of the nation’s land area, but contain 19.3 percent of the population (about 60 million people). Access to health care services is vital to good health; however, U.S. rural residents face a variety of access barriers. For rural residents to have sufficient health care access, necessary and appropriate services must be available and obtainable in a timely manner. Rural Health Information Hub. (2017).

Describe the incorporation of elements and multimedia as a final directive for what goes where.

Overview: This module introduces elements of visual design, such as typography and infographics, that can enhance the look and feel of a webpage. To assist your application of these concepts to the webpage you will be submitting in next module, you will develop a visual aid to outline any necessary changes to improve the visual design of your webpage. Prompt: You will want to address how your webpage could better infuse typography, multimedia, and infographics to grab your audiences attention. Include information regarding the incorporation of elements and multimedia as a final directive for what goes where. While the visual aid you produce does not need to be too intricate (a Microsoft Word table, a flowchart, and a Prezi are just a few examples of acceptable submission formats), the intention is that this exercise will assist you in documenting the decision making that goes into the design of your webpage since you will need to capture that thought process in the written defense due in Module Nine. Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed: Create a visual aid that analyzes how a webpage could better infuse typography, multimedia, and infographics to grab an audiences attention. Describe the incorporation of elements and multimedia as a final directive for what goes where.
