Guiding and encouraging adult learners to take new skills and digital practices learned in class out into the world helps to solidify learning. Explicitly nudging learners to applying their learning beyond the class session is a key priority at the end of well delivered lesson. Reminding learners about the practicality of what was just covered helps to encourage engagement with the content and digital tools after the lesson ends.

Quite often the end of a lesson often comes too soon and can be rushed. As adults have a variety of responsibilities, learners' leaving at different times may interfere with a tidy ending or a well-intentioned summary during which time a practitioner can explicitly ask learners to  'try out this skill or this tool' in your life the next time you are doing 'such-and-such in context x,y, z.'

If LBS learners have not been in an educational environment for a while or they are fairly new to the Ontario and  are getting used to educational practices and routines in a new country and context, how can we nurture learner autonomy—i.e. the notion of staying motivated and taking and taking stock of one's learning, while planning next steps along the learning path.
