Continuing Education, Adult Education

» Sandy_Warren - Continuing Education, Adult Education

I came to your site looking for information on Adult Education as it applies to Continuing Education whereby students do not receive college credits toward a degree but certificates of completion. Will you be having anything on this type of adult education?

I myself have never taught adult education but hope to do so soon. Last year, I belonged to an adult education e-group which I left because it was too chatty, catty and back-biting. I recently started my own e-group and I am looking for members.

This community is primarily for current and prospective adult and continuing education teachers to compare notes, get feedback, offer suggestions and help one another. However, students and other interested persons are also welcome in this totally open group unless there are problems. This group is to be as non-chatty and on-subject as possible for the consideration of the group. There will be no slamming of other people, overtly or covertly.

» jaspears - Continuing Education Credits

I appreciate your suggestion for an article and web site links to continuing education courses that are not for college credit.

There are huge indexes that include continuing education for certification courses under the "Gateways to Online Courses" links. I haven't had an article specializing in online classes awarding certification because there isn't an agency or organization that can authenticate the reliability of most certification courses.

Associations or organizations for most professions can tell you which certification courses are recognized by the members of their profession.

Thanks for the info Sandra. I've subscribed to your mailing list.
I'm a Certified Adult Educator and have been teaching adults for a little over a year now via the Internet. I teach several online courses:
- a writing course called Write with Style

- and a condensed version of the program in one course called Adult Learning - The Challenge
