Knowles Andragogy vs Ikarus

Criteria	Notes
Knowles' Andragogy vs. Ikarus "Andragogy applies to any form of adult learning and has been used extensively in the design of organizational training programs" (from http://tip.psychology.org/knowles.html)
Relevant to learner's current practice (need to know why they need to learn something; adults learn best when the topic is of immediate value)	This seemed to happen anyway as people who were involved chose this course and applied it. In many of the projects, we were prompted to consider how it affects our own teaching/learning environment. In many of the article reflections, we were prompted to compare to our own institutions
Adults need to learn experientially	It is all about active learning and there is almost nothing taught directly. This is especially evident in the group work where a group of people try out an external VLE and evaluate it based on their own experience.
Adults approach learning as problem-solving	And this shows in the task-oriented approach
