After reading the background material and conducting your own research, produce a slide presentation (with accompanying notes) in which you showcase the key components of adult learning and the theories associated with it. Your presentation should go beyond summarizing what you have read. Your presentation should also include a paragraph or two in the notes section of PowerPoint which give further background on the slide. You will be graded on the content of the slides AND the content of the notes section.
