Planning Programs for Adult Learners: A Practical Guide for Educators, Trainers, and Staff DevelopersThe ongoing education and training of adults has become a necessity in many professional areas.

This popular guide contains information on every area of program planning for adult learners, from understanding the purpose of educational programs to obtaining suitable facilities. Thoroughly expanded and revised, the book contains a wealth of new material and examples, and features new information on incorporating technology into the development and practice of adult education programs. Educators and practitioners alike will find this guide to be an essential tool. |
