Introduction

Learning Experience can be termed as some interaction, program or course which occurs in either schools or classrooms or contemporary learning environments like outdoor environments (Arends 2014). An effective learning experience can create management, relevant and key educational experiences that will be of much help to the adult and postsecondary learners. A proper learning experience successfully addresses the specific challenges related to the adult learners. Being an avid learner I have identified some of the benefits of learning experience, they are;

Design a purposeful journey- Learning experience helps aq student to walk in the right path. People like me who undertake different nontraditional learning courses needs to understand the journey that has been set for them. The understanding of the layout helps me to respond positively to the objectives set forth in front of me.

Directly link learning goals to activities- A clearly designed learning experience can help the learners avoid the chance of engaging into monotonous and busy tasks (Boud et al. 2014). Rather it would be helpful for them to engage in different activities that are related to the course.

Addressing the gaps of understanding and building upon the existing understandings- Learners who were not part of the traditional learning system have gained much of the learning knowledge based upon their experience. The main coordinator of the learning experience can easily leverage the knowledge and the experience of the learner whenever he wants to do so.

Provide real world simulations- Learning experiences helps to provide real world simulations. The Experiences of such simulations helps me to acquire the experience of the practical situations and reacting to such situations promptly and efficiently.

Future Needs- Learning helps us to prepare for the future and make us self efficient. It provides us with the different practical knowledge’s that are needed to survive in the future (Arends 2014).

Life Lessons- Life lessons can help to find us the meaning of life and its purpose. It helps us to get a secure job and a good education. Learning experience helps us to be better equipped to face difficult situations. It also helps us to learn from our failures (Boud et al. 2014).

Value of the Learning Experience

Values are present are of specifications where there is the presence of the learning experience (Arends 2014). I have used some definitions of instructional designs and decided to explore the role of values in the learning experience. The Learning experience helps us in a number of different ways namely;

1. Course- The course program that I was enrolled in helped me to gather a practical and real knowledge. The design of the course along with the timings and the related documents involved in the course has been of tremendous help for me to gather an expert knowledge on the same (Coulson and Harvey 2013).
2. Program- The Learning process is very much important in my life as the programs have been helpful for me to gather the theoretical based knowledge on the different elements of the learning process (Coulson and Harvey 2013). Gaining an idea about both the theoretical and practical knowledge is an added advantage for me.
3. Future Career- My future is one of the key factors which will determine whether I will be successful or I would fail in my upcoming endeavors. The learning process will be useful to determine the right path towards success.
4. Life In General- The different theoretical and practical knowledge will be helping me to transform into a matured human being and will help me to face all the crisis situations in life with great strength.

Transferring the Knowledge in Future

Transferring the learning Knowledge into the future is one of the most arduous task for me. But I am left with little or no scope at all as because I have to fit myself in the modern competitive world and have to stand apart from the others. I have decided to apply the knowledge in the future by;

1. Using the variety of Learning Media
2. Keeping a focus on the relevance of what I have learnt
3. Taking a time for self explanation

Details of Learning Knowledge

Learning knowledge refers to the knowledge that is acquired from the learning process and helps to change ones behavioral traits (Kassab et al. 2015). The people engaged in the learning process have to make sure that they acquire the knowledge of the skills to marketing sure that they can personalize in their own field. My own specification regarding such a case is a software engineer. I am engaged in creating and maintaining different kinds of software for multitasking purposes. After completing my boards I got myself admitted in one of the famous B-tech colleges and earned an engineering degree from there. My learning process has been quite helpful to solve different issues related to software and its complex management.

Evaluation of Learning Knowledge

Business research is very much useful for the learning process which I have undergone. I am successful in analyzing my strengths and weakness and can improve myself on such ground. The uses of Learning Experience are;

1. Access to important Data
2. Rise in positive emotions
3. Improved problem solving skills
4. Deeper understanding

Use of Business Research in Learning Process

There is lots of use of business research in my learning process, some of them are;

1. Research helps me to identify my personal strengths and weakness
2. It helps me to have a clear idea about the type of people that I would be facing in real world situations (Keller and Karau 2013)
3. It is easy for the organization to perform a SWOT and PESTEL
4. It helps us to get an idea about the targeted group of people

Explanation of the Learning Process

As mentioned earlier my learning process has been a backbone of my life. It has helped me to attain the best possible results in my life. It has been extremely helpful and has opened up new inroads and unknown grounds for me to explore and conquer. Theoretical, practical, mental, skills have been a result of such a learning process (Kassab et al. 2015).
