To make it just a little interesting, you also need to take into account that the modern adult is constantly multi-tasking, always connected and typically mobile.  How do you grapple with the complexities of trying to get the modern adult to focus, let alone focus long enough to get them to learn? Enter Mark Milroy who spends his days innovating learning for ASAE members. What are the trends he's seeing? What does the research say about how to effectively engage adults? What are the factors we need to consider in trying to deliver education? How has digital changed everything and more importantly, when is it ever going to stop changing?   - Original Program Date: November 13, 2014 - Duration: 15 Minutes ## ON DEMAND [![](https://blog.highroadsolutions.com/hubfs/highroadU_2016/icon-slideshare.gif)](http://www.slideshare.net/highroadsolution/010-mark-milroy-innovating-learning) [![](https://blog.highroadsolutions.com/hubfs/highroadU_2016/icon-youtube.gif)](https://youtu.be/HjT5zCn7Ki8) Topics: [Professional Development & Education](https://blog.highroadsolutions.com/highroadu/topic/professional-development-education), [Seminars](https://blog.highroadsolutions.com/highroadu/topic/seminars) ### Subscribe ### Posts by Topic -
