The document discusses effective training design for adult learners. It outlines conditions for adult learning, including that adults need to understand why they are learning something, learn best through hands-on experience, and see the immediate value of what they are learning. The document then presents three training module designs that incorporate these principles, with each module including a rationale, objectives, activities, and evaluation components. Design #1 on video story forms is proposed as an example that asks learners to assess an poorly designed video and provide feedback.
