520 |a This review of the current status of distance education for adults in Wisconsin examines the concept of lifelong learning within the wider international and historical context, and discusses seven characteristics of successful distance education program design. It is proposed that these characteristics be used as criteria to evaluate current practices in Wisconsin: (1) a conscious and systematic approach to the design of learning materials; (2) use of a wide range of media and a variety of production and distribution systems appropriate to the various media; (3) a marked role differentiation of staff; (4) centralized design and production of materials combined with localized learning; (5) division of labor between those who design materials and those who give instruction through those materials; (6) two-way communication between learners and instructors; and (7) use of quasi-industrial processes of course design and distribution that require management structure and control different from traditional academic university administration. The relevance of the recommendations of the 1972 Governor's Commission on Education is considered, a model of a system for lifelong learning is described, and suggestions for further research are offered. Data on distance education institutions around the world and a chart describing life-cycle phases are appended. (MES)
