This book provides instructors with a holistic way of thinking
about learners, learning, and online course design. The distinctive
strategies derived from an integrated framework for designing the
online learning experience help create an experience that is more
personalized, engaging, and meaningful for online learners. The
focus of this book is on the learners and the design of their
online learning experiences. The authors refer to learning design
instead of instructional design - which focuses on instruction and
places the instructor at the center stage of the process.
Therefore, the focus is on approaching a learner's online course
experience as a journey consisting of a combination of learning
interactions with content, instructor, and other learners. In most
online courses, instructors and learners are separated in time and
space and depend on technology to facilitate interactions that
often lack a strong personal dimension. As online learning
continues to proliferate and mature, the emphasis on simply making
content available to students online is no longer acceptable.
Creating online courses now requires a new way of thinking that
incorporates new design ideas and approaches from a variety of
fields; it also requires a new set of learning design skills for
instructors and course designers. Organized into eight chapters,
this volume focuses on enhancing online learning experiences for
each of the major aspects of an online course, providing
evidence-based principles and strategies to promote learner
engagement and deep learning. The concluding chapter provides an
example illustrating a real-world application of the principles and
strategies covered in the book, using Design Thinking to create
learning experiences. This book provides strategies for approaching
the learning experience from an integrative perspective for both
experienced online instructors and those new to online course
design. These strategies are based on evidence-based learning
design principles and encourage the reader to adopt an empathic
mindset focused on the experience of the learner.
The field of Adult and Continuing Education (ACE) has long been
influential beyond its already porous borders, and continues to be
a source of important ideas, inspiration, and innovative practices
for those in disciplines such as educational administration, social
work, nursing, and counseling. Recognizing this, the American
Association for Adult and Continuing Education commissioned the
editors to create this compendium, which provides an invaluable
resource to readers already established in the field, those
entering the field, and to myriad neighbors of the field as well.
Issues of Leadership and Administration such as planning and
resource allocation, organizational change and culture, and the
value of a shared vision for all stakeholders are addressed in the
third volume. From practical matters like staffing and volunteers,
to big-picture issues such as alternative visions for the future of
the field, this volume offers vital knowledge and insight.

domains. Wide-ranging inquiry has always been a hallmark of ACE,
and only continues to grow along with the recognition of the
importance of adult learning for learners and for the society as a
whole.

The volume on Adult Learners will include articles addressing
topics such as adult development, diversity, learning abilities,
the influence of personality on learning, and the role of
experience in adult learning. By far the largest segment of
learners in society, and currently the largest segment of college
students as well, a better understanding of the adult learner is
vital for educators of all kinds.

This four-volume compendium (also available as a combined e-book)
brings together a host of national and international contributors
to map the field of ACE in a series of brief articles addressing
key theories and practices across its many domains and settings.
These are arranged in four volumes, available either individually
or as a set: Volume One: The Adult Learner Volume Two: Teaching and
Learning in ACE Vol. Three: Leading and Managing ACE Volume Four:
Inquiry and Influences The volume on Adult Learners will include
articles addressing topics such as adult development, diversity,
learning abilities, the influence of personality on learning, and
the role of experience in adult learning. By far the largest

single e-book, to make the most of the inter-relatedness of the
various topics. This version uses live links in the table of
contents and combined index (as well as keywords at the start of
each article) to enable readers to follow their own topical
interests and thus create unique learning pathways for themselves.
