Essay / Research Paper Abstract
A 10 page paper discussing multimedia, computer-based learning systems for self-directed learning by adults. The paper also discusses learning management systems, which bring uniformity and accountability into the mix. The systems can be expected to gain in importance in the future, as the need for training and re-training grows and as the economies of developed nations continue to shift from manufacturing to services. Individuals will need to be retrained, and in many cases, they will be responsible for their own learning and assessment. Multimedia, computer-based systems allow such an approach, and at minimal cost to the entity providing the information. Bibliography lists 11 sources.

published in 1949 titled How to Study Physics encourages learners to continue to learn. The 1955 edition exhorts students to welcome the math portion of physics study, and to
learn to derive formulas rather than simply memorize them. The author writes in defense of understanding concepts, "most of the technological information you have when you leave college gradually
will become obsolete. If all you have learned in college is the end result, you, too, will become obsolete" (Chapman, 1996 [1955]). The only caveat that needs to be
added for this to be relevant today is that technological information change no longer happens gradually. Other professors in areas of changing environment and conditions urge students to "Read,
read, read" on leaving school, but note with distress that few make the time. In higher education and in business training, individual teachers
and researchers devise new approaches and synthesize new insights in teaching old subjects in environments that continually change to populations in flux in abilities, motivation and cultural composition, with consideration
for the changing technological environment in which much of todays learning takes place. Research into Practice Education seems to provide one of todays
most dynamic approaches to the systematic collection of knowledge in an environment in which that knowledge is collected with the goal of informing and changing current practice. The primary
position of empirical research is that it has value if it only contributes to the existing knowledge base. Education is one of the disciplines most open to examining such
evidence and altering practice according to the findings of well-designed and well-executed research. Most of the research being conducted in education is geared
