It is a challenge with adults coming from a variety of backgrounds to understand experiences and build on them as some have lots of experiences and others  may not have as many experiences.  Hopefully those more experiences individuals can have time to share with those less experienced. 

Looking at this I was familiar with right brain, left brain concepts, yet working with students to try and engage all 4 quadrants would hopefully give everyone the ability to learn better by being able relate in the way that they see most useful.  

Try and understand experiences of students and how we can better relate the material to previous experiences.

Adult learners have various motivating reasons for perusing further education and also have different skills in processing learning materials.
