 * This is my first PIDP course online. I started in the program by doing the Instructional Skills Workshop, in class, and was motivated by what I learned to continue on in the PIDP. My educational background is in computer engineering. I teach computing courses to mature adults, over the age of 50. I really enjoy the challenge of motivating my students to overcome their technical phobias and to have fun with computers. PIDP3106 has given me many tools to enhance my teaching techniques. My focus in this wiki is Mature Adult Motivation. ||  || This is my 3rd PIDP course online and my last course requirement for Vancouver Community College's (VCC) Provincial Instructor's Diploma (PID). I enjoy teaching and motivating adults in the area digital graphic design. Graphic computer skills help adults in all areas of adult work life. I am passionate about fostering creativity, teaching the technical tools to achieve creative results and coaching and inspiring learners to tap their inner resources for all creative expression. I am absorbed in subject area of motivation and creativity, which is the focus of my contribution to this Wiki. ||   || This is my 3rd PIDP course. I work in the area of Human Resources and I am responsible for Training and Development. My interest is in developing, motivating and providng work related training to adult employees in the workplace. I am participating in this course to develop my own understanding of how to provide the best learning and development opportunities to allow employees to become fully competent in their roles. This may include on-site training or involve identifying instructors who specialize in various areas to assist with leadership development or other special technical skills required for many different positions. My focus in this wiki is Workplace Motivation. ||
