2. Social Learning Leverage
Adult education and training primarily has been conducted in a classroom setting, following a traditional learning format that demands various learning styles to respond to a specific type of teaching style. However, now due to the social network, adult education can now leverage its approach through social learning.
Social learning leverages adult education with:
Learning autonomy
Cultural interactions
Team/group accountability
Intrinsic motivation

3. Rationale
Adult learners learn better in an environment in which they can communicate their experiences and knowledge in a nonthreatening environment. It is in this atmosphere of cooperation and collaboration that adult learners can learn from each other through shared information, skills, knowledge and talents. Social media is now the new playground for social interactions, gaining knowledge, and social learning. It is in the context of social media technology that adult learners can actively participate in the learning process without many boundaries.
Adobe Captivate 8 is an authoring tool that helps to minimize these boundaries with its simulation, eLearning development, rapid development, and virtual classroom tools.

4. Digital Training Approach
Adobe Captivate 8 can be best demonstrated for training purposes by using the software itself and allowing the tools to speak for themselves. The following describes each tool:
Virtual Classroom – Expand training to adult learners in various locations
Rapid eLearning – Use of many devices for compatibility
LMS Integration – Real-time collaboration and interactive content

5. Adobe Training Course
All Care Associate employees are required to participate in Fresh Start-DFW’s employee training through collaborative learning, PowerPoint Presentations, video instruction as well as scheduled guest speakers, group discussions, Q&A segments, and individual training manual.
