President and CEO of OnLine

Dr. Terrence R. Redding, Ph.D.
Dr. Redding 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.
