UW-Extension dean David Schejbal: Flexibility critical in serving nontraditional learners - Tara García Mathewson, Education Dive
When David Schejbal thinks about expanding opportunities for nontraditional students in higher education, he thinks about them as consumers. Schejbal is the dean of continuing education, outreach and e-learning at the University of Wisconsin-Extension. The bulk of his career has been driven by a desire to make education flexible, affordable and accessible for working adults, some of whom have degrees and are looking for new skills, some of whom have no prior postsecondary experience, but all of whom have real commitments outside of schooling.
