- Summary:
-
In 1968, a national planning conference, under the joint sponsorship of 34 organizations responsing to continuing education needs, created the National Task Force to determine the feasibility of a uniform unit of measurement and develop a proposal for field testing the concept. Stressing that continuing education units should supplement, not supplant the credit hour, a working paper was issued suggesting a program of action that included general standards and criteria, questions to be answered, potential subcommittee tasks, and design of forms. In 1973, after two years of deliberation, the National Task Force issued an interim statement defining the Continuing Education Unit (CEU) as: "ten contact hours of participation in an organized continuing education experience under responsible sponsorship, capable direction, and qualified instruction." This document, forming a basic framework for future development and utilization of the CEU, also sets forth purposes and objectives, administrative requirements, suggested applications, and practical guidelines. It concludes with the announcement of a pilot project to test the report recommendations. (Author/MW)
