"The motivation to learn is increased when the relevance of the 'lesson' through real-life situations is clear, particularly in relation to the specific concerns of the learner," writes Aditya Pullagurla in his blog.

"Adult learning theory states that adults are self-directed/autonomous. Adult learners are actively involved in the learning process such that they make choices relevant to their learning objectives. As such, adult learners also direct their learning goals with the guidance of their mentors."
