Today, "lifelong learning" encompasses a wide range of student profiles and curricular designs, but a growing subset of the nation's life-long learning programs are non-credit and designed specifically for students over the age of 50. The good news is that "over 50" does not mean "out of the technology loop." In this article, the author discusses how lifelong learning programs are utilizing videoconferencing and vodcasting to reach out to the 50-plus nontraditional student.
