=Course Topic= I will explore the role of adult learning styles in relationship to online learning.* =Paragraph= My passion is in regards to teaching adults technical information in a way to ensure their understanding and retention in order to improve their abilities on the job. I narrowed my topic by taking my passion and creating a mind map with brainstorming and a library search using the terms adult and learning. This search found 17,284 different sources, so I looked at the clustered results to flesh out my mind map, and was most interested in the groupings of “Adult Learners – Learning Environments”, “Learning Style”, and “Adult learning and education”. This narrowed library search resulted in 15 sources that specifically or tangentially discussed the role of learning style in adult online learning, which I felt was a reasonable base from which to start while demonstrating an interest in this topic in the scholarly literature.*

 [o1]Stephen, I think this is a great topic and one close to home for me as my dissertation was on student learning in the online environment.  [o2]This will be a great class to delve into the literature to help you narrow down your topic idea. You will find a great deal of research out there. The one comment I have is to figure out how you will measure your topic by thinking about appropriate research questions.
