Upcoming Event: How Technology Can Transform Adult Education

During August 13-19, 2013, the LINCS Community will co-host a guided discussion in the Technology and Learning group to consider how technology can transform adult education and current practice. Adult education and technology experts Art Graesser and David Rosen will discuss the use of education technology in the adult education field to innovate teaching and learning to meet the needs of adult learners.

This timely and significant conversation will serve to provide comment on an upcoming report to be released by the U.S. Department of Education, Office of Vocational and Adult Education (OVAE). Later this month, OVAE will release and request public comment on the draft report: Connected Teaching and Personalized Learning: Implications of the National Education Technology Plan (NETP) for Adult Education, produced through a contract with the American Institutes for Research.

Stay tuned for the release of the report and more information about this corresponding LINCS Community event. Public comment on the report will be accepted via this LINCS Community conversation, so please encourage your friends and colleagues to join the community in advance of August’s discussion!

Best regards,

LINCS Community Team
