Learning Outside the Academy
This book weaves together different strands of research in the area of lifelong learning that concentrates particularly on learning in alternative settings and ways, such experiential learning and informal and community learning. Drawing upon international research, the book examines how these strands of research can contribute to each other. The contributions to this book are based on material presented at a conference at the Centre for Research in Lifelong Learning, UK, and they focus on research into key issues of policy and practice in lifelong learning.

Implementing Sustainable Development
Despite all the talk of sustainability, there has not been enough action to halt or reverse the impacts of climate change. Decades after the Rio Earth Summit and despite the many policies and commitments to move toward sustainable development, there continues to be a serious implementation gap.

Written by scholars who have been at the forefront of the NPG debate as well as by scholar-practitioners, this book provides "lessons learned from experience" on how networked, contract-based and partnership-centered approaches to government can be undertaken in ways that preserve the values at the center of the American constitutional and political system.
Electronic Pathways
What does the information society really mean for adult learning? A rapidly-growing range of communication technologies is being developed to support the adult learner. Telematics applications have the potential to have an impact on education, leisure and work, but adult educators and others involved in working with adult learners need practical help if they are to make the most of the opportunities. This is the first book to place the new information and communication technologies firmly in the context of adult learning. It is written by adult educators who have used the new technologies to widen access to learning and promote independent learning. They have seen that it is possible to offer different ways to communicate and support learning, whether in college, the home, the workplace or other settings. Case studies provide examples of the pitfalls involved, good practice identified and the opportunities available. The book shows how the new communication technologies can add a completely new dimension to adult learning. It is accessible, informative and a practical resource for all who are professionally concerned with developing adult learning.
