Adult Education Video Project at the University of Central Oklahoma
Session Abstract
The Adult Education and Safety Science (AESS) Department and the Center for eLearning and Connected Environments (CeCE) at the University of Central Oklahoma (UCO) have combined to create an Adult Education Video project, to be used by all in Adult Education courses.
Target Audience
Adult Educators and Students.
Session Description
The Adult Education Video project at UCO was inspired by the use of TED talks and other similar videos in online and distance education courses. It was noticed that there are not many videos available on the topic of Adult Education. So the project was formed. The idea of the project is to record the current thoughts of Adult Educators throughout the nation, and archive them so they can be use in Adult Education courses now and in the future.
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. The project will continue through the 2016 R2P conference.
Once a video is recorded and edited it is place on a UCO server and website. Adult Educators are then welcome to access the videos and use them in their course to share the knowledge of our disciple with others first hand.
UCO welcomes your thought on how we can move forward with the project with the two-fold purpose of recording our history and sharing it with the generations of Adult Educators in the future.
