“Priming Adult Learners for Learning Transfer: Beyond Content and Delivery” by
Elizabeth Anne Roumell talks about three crucial factors which helps in transferring mindful
learning at every step and level which is highly important while providing adult education.
According to the article, despite of highly skilled instructional designers, learning theories

According to this article, adult learning can be possible if mindful transfer is applied
as it is the process of the continuous ongoing strategies in order to help the learners to apply
new information and knowledge which is acquired and actively apply that knowledge which
is beyond the learning events which will further help in developing active competencies. I
