ABSTRACT
The first volume of Mapping the Field of Adult and Continuing Education: An International Compendium focuses on adult learners. Contributors from different countries involved with adult education prepared the 16 articles in this volume. These articles can be part of a module or unit in a formal course or serve as resources for practitioners who work with adults. Many of the articles are brief and provide examples and resources for future exploration. Each article contains concepts, examples, implications, keywords, and cross-references to other articles in the compendium. For the e-book version of the compendium, the keywords at the top of the article and cross-references before the references are linked to different parts of the compendium and to the compendium index where interrelated topics can be accessed.
