"Rarely does an author produce a classic text and then continue to improve it.Curil Houle has done just that with the second editino of the Design of Education, which contains fresh, new insights about how adult educators can use the system to improve their program-planning efforts.Houle's writings are always thought provoking and this book is no exception." — Ronald M.

"Not only for Adult Educators !" according to Ms. K. Monaghan. This book was written not only for the experienced adult educator but for anyone interested in learning about designing your own course or system. This is a practical book. Houle reviews a history of program design along with five case studies that illustrate the model that he proposes. His model presents a detailed analysis of 11 categories of possible educational activities along with the details of his 7-step system of program design. This book is well-written and practical. His focus ranges from the individual program to mass audiences. I especially like the chapter on "Mastering a Personal System
In this revised second edition, Houle offers an up-to-date blueprint for planning, setting up, and evaluating adult education programs of any size--along with specific guidance that shows educators how to use his model to implement the type of program best suited to their needs and the needs of their learners.
