The human population over the age of 55 is the most rapidly expanding age generation and market demographic in the United States. Every generation faces unique challenges as they age, but, people over the age of 55, must not only deal with the normal social changes associated with aging but also must deal with other issues whether they are medical, financial or legal. The caregivers to this population, many of whom are family members must take this challenging journey with the aging individual. The Knowledgeable Aging® Learning Center is an online community and educational platform that consolidates, in one place, clear explanations of the problems facing this generation and many suggested solutions and recommendations to assist the aging and their caregivers when addressing these issues.
It is a proven fact that learning does not stop when course material has been consumed. In fact, although important to the overall educational experience, the course material itself represents but one part of the process. This expanded perspective of the educational experience is fundamental to the Knowledgeable Aging® Learning Center philosophy. With our unique online ‘community’, the Knowledgeable Aging® Learning Center provides the ability for students and instructors to interact with each other while they are taking the course and after course completion. This represents a significant additional learning opportunity for the student in addition to the actual course material.
