Gessner, Ingrid – Studies in the Education of Adults, 2016
The incorporation of cultural productions and virtual experiences in museum spaces adds to the objects' significance and also turns them into important contributions to adult education.

Cepeda, Nicholas J.; Coburn, Noriko; Rohrer, Doug; Wixted, John T.; Mozer, Michael C,; Pashler, Harold – Online Submission, 2009

Travis, Tiffini A. – New Directions for Teaching and Learning, 2008

Their broadened awareness, in turn, increases reading comprehension and writing abilities. Many…
