Suggested List for Tom Peele: For Discussion

Hey Kimme, I took three entries from your initial list and added them in here. All the remaining entries are from Tom's list. I have skimmed or read all the articles. You may want to do the same or just read through these titles. If you want to discuss any of these entries, you could email me your thoughts sometime this week. I'll be free on Tuesday and Thursday to talk by phone.

Note to Kimme: Please take a look at this essay by DePew et al. It does not address adult learners' experiences specifically; however, the entire distance learning concept affects adult learners and this articles does focus on writing instruction via distance education. For that reason, I lean toward including it in our book.
