Videoconferencing Out on a Lim 
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!
Cathryn,
I realize your post is quite old, but there are websites out there that have “Adult Learners” as one of the age levels that a program can be geared towards. This category is specifically listed for Assisted Living and Nursing Home type facilities. I work for a content provider and some of the programs we offer are listed as “Adult Learner” programs. Also, most content providers will adjust their program for your group.
If you are interested in the website, please email me and I will send it to you.
Thanks!
Tracy
