…programs (especially for “soft skill” domains such as management development). Example Knowles (1984, Appendix D) provides an example of applying andragogy principles to the design of personal computer training: There…
…Its primary applications have been literary comprehension, history, biology and medicine. Example Jonassen, Ambruso & Olesen (1992) describe an application of cognitive flexibility theory to the design of a hypertext…
