Abstract
Adult learners bring a wealth of experience to graduate courses. Their funds of knowledge can be used in creatively co-designing adult learner flexible courses, tap into work and life projects, and draw materials useful for other participants. This approach ensures learner ownership, co-instructing and facilitating learning, and recognizes that the teaching and learning process is multidirectional. We discuss attitudes and beliefs that underpin co-designing. We also present the technological and interpersonal skills and tools that support this model. Examples are provided for face-to-face and online courses.
