Terrence
R. Redding, Ph.D., President and CEO of OnLine Training,
has been designing and teaching adult education courses since
1968. Terry is a past W. K. Kellogg Fellow and has a doctoral
degree in Adult and Higher Education. He has a Masters in the
Psychology of Education and is an honors graduate with a Bachelor
of Science degree in Education. His research has dealt with
adult motivation theory and the origins of self-directed learning
readiness. He has specialized in cognitive learning models
and is the co-developer of the Honeycutt Redding Cognitive
Task Analysis Model.
For the past ten years
he has been involved in an on going series of research projects
associated with the development of high self-directed learning
readiness. Of great significance is the finding that children
between ages 8 and 15, who become high self-directed learners,
typically share a common childhood experience. Redding has labeled
this experience "the first moment of lasting excitement." High
self-directed learners who share this common experience can
remember some event that has captured their imagination for
life. Typically these individuals find their life long learning
endeavors in some way tied to this "first moment of lasting
excitement."
He held his first insurance
license in 1974 and was again licensed 1989 through 1992 as part
of his responsibilities at the Oklahoma Research Center for Continuing
Professional and Higher Education. More recently Terry has been
the Director of Corporate Training and Corporate Computer Training
at Palm Beach Atlantic College. He is the author of numerous
referred chapters dealing with adult learning theory. He is the
founder of OnLine Training Institute and Redding College.
