[00:00:00] Speaker 1: Everybody learns differently. So when you dive into these concepts of adult learning, there are so many other theories that are out there beyond just kind of the general adult learning theory. But you even have the things like, is somebody an auditory learner? Are they a listener? Are they a visual person? And so the more ways you can package your information to provide to an individual, the more ways and opportunities they have to actually digest that information.

Summary

The speaker notes that adults learn in different ways and that there are multiple learning theories beyond general adult learning theory. They emphasize accommodating varied learning preferences (e.g., auditory/listening and visual) by presenting information in multiple formats to increase the chances learners can absorb and understand it.
