| Abstract: | We live in a diverse world where our learners come from various backgrounds and possess varied knowledge and skills. Additionally, the number of adult learners in higher education has increased. Meeting diverse learning requires an informed and intentional selection of strategies. This article presents an approach to addressing diverse adult learning needs by considering learner variability and using the Learner Variability Navigator, a tool rooted in research, as well as implementation, success, and plan to enhance a future class.
