What is Janine up to now!? Are you trying to find a resource or event that I’m involved in? Here’s an almost exhaustive (exhausting?) list. I say almost because I might have forgotten a link.

Hello,
I represent an Adult Learning Community and we are looking for adult learning content of almost any kind that we can present at our facility through the medium of video conferencing. If you know of any content that is appropriate for adults and not geared towards k-12 would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Cathryn
Cathryn, I’m not really sure. I don’t know of any sites that collect that information. However, I’m sure that all the zoos, museums, and other organizations that offer content would be happy to tailor their programs or even create new ones for adults. I have heard before that more of them are connecting to adults and retirement communities. And I’m sure that all the ideas we have for K12 can be “upgraded” for adults. Good luck with your work!
