| Abstract: |
A growing demand for accelerated and intensive short-term educational programs is notable in the USA and internationally. Many colleges and high schools are introducing such programs in their curriculum; some completely transform into accelerated institutions offering only accelerated programs. The concept, definitions, principles and methodology of accelerated instructional approaches described in literature are often contradictory and incomplete. There is also concern regarding the quality of learning outcomes of courses delivered in a compressed format. This article discusses this issue focusing on cost - and time-efficiency of this type of learning, the concept of accelerated learning, definitions, similarities and differences between accelerated and intensive learning, and research agenda in this area.
