Instructional Design: Considering the Cognitive Learning Needs of Older Adults
Abstract
Because of the growing number of older adults per total population, discussion has grown regarding the cognitive learning needs of older adults. In this article, I will look at what research has discovered and what actions have been taken in regard to meeting those needs. I also wanted to know whether instructional designers needed to consider those learning needs in their instructional design practices. But why should instructional designers even consider the cognitive learning needs of older adults. Aren’t these older adults past the point of learning or having the need to learn? Aren’t they just going to retire, relax, travel, do hobbies, visit the grandchildren, and live off of their retirement income?
