CHESTER, PA.

Education for Adults.com, an online directory of nontraditional education programs for busy adults, has created an Internet blog with the goal of helping ease adult students back into the classroom. The Web site contains a directory of information on nontraditional education programs throughout the nation, aimed at adults looking to further their education through on-campus and distance learning.

The Web site is the brainchild of Educational Directories Unlimited Inc. (EDU), a suburban Philadelphia-based Internet company serving higher education. The blog portion "is an interactive journal where anyone can share anything about everything with everyone," according to the Web site.

"A blogger writes what is basically a journal entry and posts it on the Internet ... The purpose of this blog is to share information related to adults going back to school. It will have success stories, interesting statistics, current trends, advice and much more. If you are an adult thinking of getting a degree, I just want you to know that you are not alone," the EducationForAdults.com Webmaster wrote last month.
