It will be quite comprehensive and will include several different strands that will enable students to design their degree programs (as they can in our undergraduate programs). It does have an international stands, an online/distance learning stand, and a social justice strand (along with a human resource development thread and an adult learning/cognition strand). We think that most students will already be practitioners who want a high quality online program that can be designed around their own area of practice. We will use a praxis model. The social justice thread that I am helping to create will be largely based on Freire, Myles Horton, and Gandhi among others and will include literacy issues. The international and distance learning components will include OER. As I said, students will be able to "mix and match" studies under the guidance of a faculty mentor. Since we are one of the largest primarily adult serving educations in the US and have about forty years of serving adults with limited access to higher education, we anticipate that those students who do not presently have a practice site will be able to work with us in internships.

Will your curriculum cover adult education in the US only, or will you
take a wider view? I have done some work on adult literacy, and there
are many other such issues.
