“…Les réflexions développées ici proviennent principalement de deux ouvrages (Slowey & Schuetze, 2012 ;Teichler & Hanft, 2009) et d'un article (Teichler, 1999) en langue anglaise 4 . à notre connaissance, il n'existe pas de références équivalentes, en France, croisant les thèmes de l'enseignement supérieur et de la FTLV, proposant des approches systémiques sur la place des adultes dans l'enseignement supérieur et sur le rôle joué par les 3.…”

“…This classification follows Coombs and Ahmed (1974) who define non-formal education as organized and systematic educational activity outside the formal education frameworks and providing specific subgroups with selected types of learning. In this paper, these courses are subsumed under the term “continuing higher education” (CHE) as suggested by Teichler and Hanft (2009).…”

This contribution examines individual benefits of continuing higher education courses provided by a business school. Lifelong learning is important when it comes to keeping up with changing professional requirements and conditions. Adult education and training courses in the form of continuing higher education offer an organized and systematic possibility to further develop oneself. However, empirical evidence on the benefits to graduates is sparse. This article aims to expand the state of knowledge through a Swiss case. Using univariate and multivariate analyses of survey data ( n = 1615), benefits contributing to the satisfaction with practice oriented, non-formal education for working professionals are examined. The analyses focus on satisfaction with one of three types of continuing education programs as a measure for the overall benefit to the graduates. The findings provide important indications for the design of continuing education programs in the context of professional higher education. They reveal that subjectively, monetary benefits as well as increases in personal competence are secondary to the overall benefit accrued through the completion of courses. Instead, career development and the enhancement of specific professional competence significantly contribute to the satisfaction of professionals completing continuing higher education.

Building Practice into Theory place in the higher education sector pose a number of major challenges (Teichler 2009). These include the threat to quality, lack of relevance of education provided, erosion of the social good of higher education, and poor transmission of lifelong learning skills.…”

This book focuses on distance education research, a dire need in the field, especially in Africa and other developing contexts. 'Distance education' in this book has been used as an umbrella term for any form of education in which there is a separation between the teacher and the learner, which necessitates the use of media. The authors from a range of African countries and international experts who have had a stint of their career in developing contexts, borrowing from their wealth of experience, discuss research trends in distance education in their milieu, identifying the gaps and how this mode of delivery can be strengthened. By so doing, their passion for quality which has been a major area of concern in the field was brought to the fore. They have reiterated the fact that it is possible to enhance quality in this mode of delivery by not only conducting research but also applying its findings to theory, practice, and policy. The book is the second of two volumes.
