The author explores The context of adult learning from four perspectives: adult programs, adult learners, demographics and projections, and programmatic best practices The distinguishing characteristics of adult learners, the special challenges they face, their motivations to continue their education, and why they seek and what they bring to college-level learning The institutional responses to the adult learner, such as programmatic perspectives and the fundamental needs required to sustain adult learning programs Meaningful applications of the term "lifelong learning" as well as some projections on how the 21st-century academy is likely to change This book is a helpful guide to all interested in understanding adult learning's place in academia today and implementing and sustaining successful adult learning programs for tomorrow.
