skeneIn ancient Greek theatre, a building behind the playing area that was originally a hut in which actors changed masks and costumes. It eventually became the scenic backdrop for the drama. First used c. 465 BC, the skene was a small wooden structure facing the circle of spectators. It developed into a two-story edifice decorated with columns, with three doors used for entrances and exits. It was flanked by wings (paraskenia). By the end of the 5th century BC, the wooden skene was replaced by a permanent stone structure. In the Roman theatre it was an elaborate building facade. How to thank TFD for its existence?

Aster and Skenes (1993) have defined adult learners, whom they also label "nontraditional students," as those students who do not live on campus, who usually work full-time, who are often married with children, and who are motivated less by academic integration (satisfying an individual's need of intellectual development and growth) and more by career enhancement. They also have noted that a supportive social environment relates positively to the retention of older adults (Ashar & Skenes, 1993; Naretto, 1995).
