Statistics Needed for Adult Education

David Radwin presses for more data gathering on adult education . Mandated statistics do not break out non-traditional students (working adults), and this population takes far longer to reach graduation than the traditional full-time students.

Edupunk Guide

The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation have sponsored the Edupunk Guide for those who want an education without the expense and seat time of a traditional university. This is how the bi-line on the home page reads:

An edupunk is someone who doesn't want to play by the old college rules. Maybe you have interests that don't fit the academic mold. Maybe you're in a remote location. Maybe you have a family, a job, or other responsibilities and you can't take on life as a full-time student. Maybe you love new technology and new ways of learning. Or maybe you're just a rebel!

This indexes a substantial number of resources for the online learner. Recommended.
