My dissertation topic focused on informal learning. I wanted to know how extension educators were staying current in their discipline as well as learning how to be educators and use technology in their teaching. You could say that I was interested in self-directed learning. One of the concerns the educators also think about is how do they transform their students into lifelong learners. I am pleased to report that Malcolm Knowles's book, Self-Directed Learning: A Guide for Learners and Teachers shares strategies for both learners and teachers. Read more

Great read for today. Becoming a self-directed learner is important for adults and Knowles explains it well. If I ever teach a college course, I'll have this as required reading.
