Abstract
The purpose of this chapter is to provide strategies for adult learners to engage in online learning and to empower themselves to succeed in online learning. In addition, this cannot be fully accomplished without some degree of faculty-student interaction. There are some strategies that work regardless of if a course is offered synchronously or asynchronously, such as time management and presence. Technology and the use of digital tools are essential in online learning and provide high motivation and participation to adult learning in an online course. In addition, technology is extremely important in our ever-advancing global market. Some strategies previously thought to be for in-person use only can be adapted to online learning. Cross-curriculum learning provides more motivation and participation when aligned with the concepts of a course.
