This presentation addresses the following questions: “How do institutions of higher education address the needs of flexible, cost-efficient education for today’s adult learners? How can implementing radical collaboration create trusting, collaboration environments and promote student success?”
Open College at Kaplan University (OC@KU) offers free online services and personalized mentoring to help learners identify and organize prior work and life experience and skills that could count toward a degree or career growth. OC@KU is an excellent option for adult learners looking to enhance existing skills and/or complete a degree. OC@KU addresses a growing trend in competency-based education and the need to create affordable, flexible learning options for adult learners. OC@KU has reduced the economic barriers allowing individuals to pursue learning to enhance their academic and professional interests. The implications for institutions of higher education lie in establishing ways to improve access and reduce cost for individuals pursuing higher education with a design to meet academic and professional needs.
