ABSTRACT

When the mission statement of The Boston Center for Adult Education was developed in 1933, the aim was to create an environment where “small groups of men and women would meet together in living room settings to learn, discuss, and create for the sheer pleasure of doing so.”1 Surprising as it may appear to those who have not indulged in the e-learning arena is that a similar environment can also be created despite the physical presence of either the instructor or the class.
