learning theory, concepts and ideas. The goals of Options
are to promote an atmosphere which encourages critical questions and
alternative approaches to problems related to lifelong learning of adults and
to contribute to a comprehensive understanding of adult learning and ways to
enhance the learning potential of adults. Can you recruit writers?
