I think we can! Look to what’s happening in the informal adult education in entrepreneurship, fiction writing, and other fields. I have students from around the world, working at their own pace on their goals.
Yes, I think the boundaries between conventional and "informal" education are going to get more and more porous. There is going to have to be a lot of unlearning and reskilling for people of all ages, so "continuing education" is going to become the norm. It's an exciting time, really!
Yes, tremendously exciting. Thanks for saying that. I feel like "learning how to learn" as an adult will be a huge need. Our K-12 school system doesn't teach us that. I had to learn from my parents. They told me that I needed to learn how to learn in college. I'd like to reverse engineer how I did that, as I'm self-taught in many things. Do you have recommended resources on adult learning that don't require me to take a course? Thanks.
Will have to think about that, Beth! Maybe some of the other readers here will chime in? Marie Goodwin is working on this topic too: https://personalmycology.substack.com
