One of the biggest challenges when designing digital training for adults is maintaining their motivation and engagement. Unlike younger students, adults often face emotional blocks, fear of failure, or low technological self-efficacy.
Motivation in adulthood
From neuroeducation, we know that adult learning is enhanced when:
-
It is useful and applicable to the immediate context.
-
There is a sense of control over the pace and process.
-
A trusting and respectful environment is created.
How we apply this in DIGITRAIN
That’s why our materials are designed with practical tasks, clear language, and real-life scenarios. We promote autonomous learning, but with support, and always encourage recognition of achievements, no matter how small.
Motivating adults in digital training is not just about content; it’s about respectful and stimulating pedagogical design.
