The Sawyer Effect is new to me. I never gave it much thought. Autonomy, Mastery, and Connection to Purpose tie it all together. Explaining these concepts to students might motivate them. 

I will focus more on intrinsic motivators because they are more effective and longer-lasting. They support the need for security for the adult learner.

This has been a very enlightening module about adult learners. I will begin to integrate some of the suggestions to address the students' security and autonomy.

By sharing my expertise and enthusiasm in a clear and concise manner is the key. Being empathetic goes a long way too.  

Variety is the key. Switch delivery methods to keep everyone engaged. Surprises may be helpful. 

Have fun in the classroom. Have an enjoyable atmosphere. Be professional at all times. 

Know your audience and put them at ease. Be approachable. 

FERPA, HIPAA, and Homeland Security all have different regulations. Some vendors must also comply with FERPA.

FERPA protects the student, and those rules apply even if the student is an employee. 

Institutions must be cautious about what they release to the public. It is best to obtain a student release.
