The Adult Education Interview Series (AEIS) started at the University of Central Oklahoma (UCO) and was inspired by the use of TED talks and other similar videos in online and distance education courses. It is a collaboration between the Adult Education and Safety Science Department and the Center for eLearning and Connected Environments at UCO. The intent of the AEIS is twofold: to preserve the history and stories of adult educators and to analyze the interviews to determine common or contradictory themes that provide insight into perspectives of professionals in the field. By understanding the perspectives of the field, we can better ascertain where the field was, is and where it might be going. The AEIS is to be an open resource that can be accessed by any member of AHEA for their Adult Education courses. [For the complete proceedings, see ED576985.]
