How Adults Learn Through Information Technologies
Abstract
To understand how learning is impacted by technology, an overview of learning processes, adult education, and educational technology is needed. Adults learn contextually and through shared knowledge construction. Technology plays an enormous role with respect to adult learning, particularly if multi-generations learn together. Educators need to provide ways for adult learners to physically and intellectually access technology. Several topics need to be addressed relative to technology-enhanced learning: workplace issues, Digital Divide, and cultural concerns. Technology impacts learning communities in several ways, particularly as interactive web 2.0 tools are incorporated. Both educators and learners need to collaboratively use technology for personal and professional growth.
