Description
How can adults update skills, keep up with recent developments in their field, or prepare for a new career when they have full-time jobs and family obligations? Distance education has increasingly served this growing, nontraditional student population with convenient ways to learn - at home or on the job, at their own pace and on their own schedule. And in this book, authors Verduin and Clark give adult educators in a range of fields, from higher education to the military, a comprehensive reference for developing creative, nontraditional approaches to learning by using a variety of media in a wide range of settings. They present an innovative approach to distance instruction based on learning objectives and show how teachers and administrators can use this approach in planning courses, teaching, interacting with students, and assessing learning outcomes.
