As an experienced educator and an older learner herself, Dr. Dianne Conrad has gained insight into the learning contexts of older adults from this dual perspective. Caring for an aging mother, and travelling with other seniors, heightened her interest in the learning opportunities available to older adults and the challenges they face. The research for this book complements her work in the fields of open and distance learning, prior learning recognition, and assessment.
Conrad provides an insider's view of the learning landscape of older learners and helps us understand the full lifelong learning continuum, which includes older adults' motivation to engage in learning, whether in community groups, online, or at home. Conrad challenges us to think of possibilities such as more Internet support and recognition of capacity. The literature on older learning is scant and this book fills a huge gap.--Dr. Leona English, St. Francis-Xavier University
