Talk:Continuing education

message: I oppose a merger with adult education.  Instead the high school/college distinction between the two should be drawn out.  lots of issues  | leave me a message 00:56, 15 August 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Continuing education can refer to both. I've tried to discuss the distinction a little more. --Michael Snow 00:51, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

message: The statement as outlined in this level 2 headline is not correct in many cases.  There are many professions where a CEU (Continuing Education Unit) is equal to 50 minutes of instruction (California acupuncture CEU) and other professions where the CEU is the equivalent of 60 minutes of instruction.
The text looks like, "Depending on the field, these requirements may be satisfied through college or university coursework, extension courses or conferences and seminars attendance.
Ten contact hours equals 1 Continuing Education Unit."
I put a strikethrough on the contact hours line because it is not specific to the profession referenced and incorrectly universally instantiates this statement as true for all professions.

thread_title:  10 Contact hours equals one CEU??? 

message: In practice, these are two distinct fields. Adult education is usually conducted in adult schools that operate under public school districts, as well as community-based organizations, correctional facilities and other agencies.  Continuing education, on the other hand, is understood as primarily a college and university-based activity. As a former administrator of a university-based continuing education program, I am confident that adult education is understood to be a different domain of education and training for adults -- one not conducted, by and large, at universities. These two articles should be continued (and each greatly improved) as two separate articles and not merged. Dwalls (talk) 04:48, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Merger of Adult Education and Continuing Education? 

message: In Ontario, which the rest of Canada except the western canada bases its education on, 
Continuing Education is always seen as part time (and part time is another term used frequently for con ed)...things are changing now, but it was especially seen as EVENING courses. Even if you took one course during the day 9-5 on a weekday, it will never usually be called continuing education.
Western Canada tends to follow the American system of education, especially Alberta. 
Some universities in  west canada use the American University term EXTENSION, for con education, which I'm not sure is even mentioned in this article.
Adult education is people who are up grading to get their high school diploma, fill requirement to get into a community college program, or for worker based training courses, as the above person outlined  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Starbwoy (talk • contribs) 00:11, 26 February 2012 (UTC)

message: I believe we have come to a consensus that the external links section is appropriate for professional associations related to continuing education, but is not appropriate for listing the continuing education divisions of individual schools, colleges, or universities,  whether public or private.
