A partnership between a university research center, state advocacy group, and state, county, and local community organizations provided the Public-Sphere Pedagogy of the Town Hall Meeting. Qualitative pre-event survey data and post-event reflective data was collected and analyzed. These data sources found a correlation between a Town Hall Meeting learning experience and increased awareness, empathy, engagement, and yearning toward civic participation for both students and older adults. This study\u2019s findings are transferable to other higher education departments.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.acu.edu\/pruettgerontology\/files\/2016\/11\/ELearnJpeg.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2089\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.acu.edu\/pruettgerontology\/files\/2016\/11\/ELearnJpeg-490x217.jpg\" alt=\"ELearn 2016 in Washington DC\" width=\"490\" height=\"217\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.acu.edu\/pruettgerontology\/files\/2016\/11\/ELearnJpeg-490x217.jpg 490w, https:\/\/blogs.acu.edu\/pruettgerontology\/files\/2016\/11\/ELearnJpeg-150x66.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blogs.acu.edu\/pruettgerontology\/files\/2016\/11\/ELearnJpeg-300x133.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.acu.edu\/pruettgerontology\/files\/2016\/11\/ELearnJpeg-768x340.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.acu.edu\/pruettgerontology\/files\/2016\/11\/ELearnJpeg.jpg 796w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 490px) 100vw, 490px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>#PGCACU\u00a0\u00a0 <a class=\"twitter-hashtag pretty-link js-nav\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/ELearnConf?src=hash\"><s>#<\/s><b>ELearnConf<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PGC is excited to be among 5000 researchers and administrators from higher education institutions in the United States and around the world at this week&#8217;s ELearn World Conference on ELearning [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10682,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[102802],"tags":[163229,161655,100156,86832,86872,163228,138777,163232,161995,161650,86823,161651,161652],"class_list":["post-2088","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-texas-silver-haired-legislature","tag-elearnconf","tag-pgcacu","tag-ashley-bryan","tag-charlie-pruett","tag-chris-kyker","tag-glearn-conference","tag-helen-teague","tag-intergenerational-research","tag-older-adult-ministry-2","tag-pgc","tag-pruett-gerontology-center","tag-retiree-ministry","tag-senior-adult-ministry"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.acu.edu\/pruettgerontology\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2088","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.acu.edu\/pruettgerontology\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.acu.edu\/pruettgerontology\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.acu.edu\/pruettgerontology\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/10682"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.acu.edu\/pruettgerontology\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2088"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.acu.edu\/pruettgerontology\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2088\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2090,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.acu.edu\/pruettgerontology\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2088\/revisions\/2090"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.acu.edu\/pruettgerontology\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2088"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.acu.edu\/pruettgerontology\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2088"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.acu.edu\/pruettgerontology\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2088"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
