Dear colleagues

I have just started a new JISC list called MATURE-LEARNING, for discussion 
of older persons’ learning for leisure, health, or work.  I expect this may 
be of interest to some of you.


I have left a series of brief messages to start the list going.  The 
messages explain that the Institute of Education of London University is 
starting a new one-term master’s level module on the topic, starting in 
January 2008.  

In connection with our wish to investigate the various related themes, I 
hope very much that some of you will be interested and will add your 
experiences and viewpoints in the new forum. 

You will find my opening messages giving the rationale for thinking of 
mature learning at all, the course overview, and then 5 further messages 
each of which opens up a significant theme for discussion.  Of course new 
themes will be welcome.

To join the list, please reply to [log in to unmask]

see as an important part of learning and teaching in today’s world.
