Please join us in the GHC Video Conference Room for the Webinar, “Adult Learners and the Competency Craze” Tuesday, February 17, 2015 2:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m. EST

Session Description:

Adult learners are a vital segment of today’s higher education landscape. Looking ahead, colleges with distinctly adult-serving models are poised to capture an ever-greater share of this continually growing, and ever-changing, student market. Critical to implementing a successful adult learner strategy is curricular innovation through competency-based education, a unique educational practice Eduventures projects will drive future momentum in the adult learner market. Competency-based education gives colleges a new channel for delivering engaging, highly personalized, and outcomes-orientated programming aligned with the practical demands of an ever-evolving workforce.

This webinar focuses on recent trends in adult higher education—including national and state-wide enrollment trends and adult learner needs and preferences—and the emergence of competency-based education as a new and innovative delivery model. Drawing on Eduventures’ extensive research into this practice, this webinar provides a road map for leaders interested in developing new competency-based degree programs.
