The Project

The Adult Education Interview Series Project at University of Central Oklahoma was inspired by the use of TED talks and other similar videos in online and distance education courses. It was noticed that there is not much video information available on the topics of Adult and Continuing Education. So the project was formed. The idea of the project was to record the current thoughts of Adult Educators throughout the nation, and archive them so they can be used in Adult Education courses now and in the future.

Project History

The project started in the fall of 2015 with experts in Adult Education being interviewed during the Research to Practice (R2P) Conference. It was then expanded to the Self-Directed Learning Conference in the spring of 2016 and the 2016 R2P conference. In 2017 interviews have been collected at the Adult in Higher Education Alliance (AHEA) and Association for Nontraditional Students in Higher Education (ANTSHE) conferences.
