Abstract

The adult learning theory highlights the importance of the online education realm that should be designed based on the needs of adult learners to further empower them in their study quest. This paper discusses on the online educational environment and andragogy, which become the fabric of adult education. The characteristics of adult learners and the benefits of instructional design are examined and analyzed on how these can be incorporated into the design and development of learning materials that best suited them. The proposed model will be used to study the multimedia e-content development process that combines the instructional design and the principles of adult learners in a multimedia course of a distance education program.
