Purpose
This wiki was created for a learning activity requirement in an adult survey course taught by Ralph G. Brockett at The University of Tennessee. The purpose of the activity was to learn about an aspect of adult education history and to gain experience in presenting ideas in different formats. My intent for this wiki is to present what I have learned exploring the history of self-directed learning (SDL) as well as provide a valuable resource for those wanting an overview of the history of SDL in the field of adult education. Select the links at the top of the page to begin an exploration of SDL.
