Adult learners and Library 2.0

I've been noticing that much of the literature about Library 2.0 talks about the millenial generation, extending library service to meet digital natives in their own environment. However, our situation here is a bit different. We have a huge adult distance student population, who in many ways is still unaware of Web 2.0 (and thus Library 2.0) We are undertaking a 2.0 project, having started a course specific blog for a class that is required for new adult students.

Yes, here at Capella the set up used to be similar. Capella contracted with the library entrepreneurial project through Johns Hopkins Univeristy through January 2007.

I am interested as well into your ideas about adult learners and Web 2.0 stuff.Delete Comment
