From the Back Cover
A growing dichotomy exists in the academy when it comes to adult learners—between those who recognize the dynamism of this student population and those who don't—with strong convictions expressed on either side. There is a compelling need to improve programs and compare them with benchmarks, while still maintaining the fast-paced competition for adult learners. These factors have helped bring greater attention to the crucial need to identify best practices in adult learning programs—especially as the stakes among competitors continue to rise.
