This manual is designed to help further education colleges in the United Kingdom devise strategies to meet adult learners' needs. The opening section identifies the demographic and labor market changes that necessitate service to adult learners. Key characteristics of effective college programs for adults are highlighted: institutional flexibility, a student-centered approach, and curriculum design and delivery tailored to employer, group, and individual needs. The body of the manual is divided into three sections: (1) opening up the college; (2) learning issues; and (3) policy issues. Issues for college managers and staff are set out in checklists for each main topic discussed. The first section is concerned with access issues, examining the key processes that can stimulate participation: marketing, promoting the college, outreach, and guidance. Section II explores provision and curriculum issues, accreditation, assessment, and teaching and learning strategies. The third and largest section addresses policy issues. Its chapters cover the following topics: supporting the adult learner, equal opportunities, staff development, collaboration, monitoring and evaluation, and finance and resources. An appendix gives background information on the project that developed this manual. (NLA)
