Van Keuren, James
Mid-Western Educational Researcher, v16 n4 p2-6 Fall 2003
The system of higher education like the public education system was designed to meet the needs of the industrial age and now is attempting to meet the needs of the informational age. At the higher education level, a need exists to develop new ways to deliver instruction to adult learners who are mobile and pressed for time with their jobs and families. This article will describe how this author is taking advantage of online course instruction as an alternative instructional delivery approach to meet the needs of today's adult learners. The author also used student survey information to examine online and face-to-face instructional delivery approaches. (Contains 1 table.)
