The Adult Learner Experience is a physical installation, a digital interactive exploration and a set of resources for faculty on adult learners.The Adult Learner Experience is designed to give you, our community college instructors, a deeper understanding of the diverse experiences of adult learners. As you explore each physical or digital poster, you’ll gain insights into the demographics of our adult students, the unique barriers they face, and the critical role faculty play in shaping their success.Through real-life student stories, data, and reflections, you will see how adult learners balance work, family, and education—and how small changes in teaching approaches, flexibility, and support can make a profound difference in their academic journey.We invite you to engage with these experiences, reflect on the challenges, and discover how you can contribute to breaking down barriers, fostering resilience, and creating a truly inclusive learning environment in your classroom. To host the Adult Learner Experience installation at your college, please fill out this Request Form.NC Teaching & Learning Hubs
