Institutions of academia are experiencing a schism when it comes to adult learners--some recognize and foster the dynamism of this student population while others harbor animosity and frenetic attitudes toward adult learners. There is a compelling need to find benchmarks against which to compare and improve programs, while still maintaining the fast-paced competition for adult learners. This book identifies the best practices necessary to bring adult learning programs to a new level--especially as the stakes among competitors continue to rise.

Best Practices in Adult Learning sets the stage by addressing institutional vision, asking the question What do I want my program to contain or deliver? It then provides a hands-on set of applications that are designed to strengthen daily practices, while underscoring the importance of faculty development to maintaining the health and vitality of successful adult programs. Next it presents straightforward, diverse, and immediate technological applications for adult learning programs, and finally it gives special attention to the increasing importance of senior learners--the fastest growing demographic in America today.
