7. • Vital to adult learners of today and adult learners of tomorrow.
• Addresses learning needs of an increasingly diverse population.
• Advances capacity and capability so that learners will be equipped
to handle all future issues and challenges that they may face.
• Heutagogy and UDL “is as much a way of thinking as it is a way of
acting. It requires a fundamental shift away from the idea that
teaching and learning should be uniform. [It is not a] “one size fits
all approach” (Cochran, 2008, as cited in Eberle, p.14).
• Heutogagy is “a necessary survival skill” (Francis and Flanigan, 2012,
p. 2).
