DESCRIPTION

This is a 200 slide presentation outlining the book The Adult Learner by Malcolm Knowles. As you may know this book is some dry reading so I and my peers converted it into a four hour lecture. This was in 2004 and our powerpoint skills were basic. I hope this helps you with some insight into androgogy and the adult learner as well as some insight to the leading minds of the time.Content created by: Brian Shearer, Rufus Brown, David Koleson, Jason Howsare, Karl Kilthau, and Mike Ramsey
