External Validation
External validation allows educators to examine programs and courses in light of recent trends, globalization, discipline demands, and even sociopolitical implications. It is an opportunity to distinguish the curriculum from other colleges and universities. Based on your chosen topic of Adult Education and Management, conduct an external validation of the topic and design of the course you are developing as follows:
Evaluate current literature: Study conference materials (within the last two years).
Research current scholarly journals and articles (within the last two years).
Research professional organizations that are related to the topic, and examine the standards relevant to your course.
Research college programs related to the topic and examine the standards relevant to your course.
Summarize how your course's approach will be unique to existing practices.
