Abstract

Economic and social activities rely on information and communication technologies. Information literacy forms the basis for lifelong learning. Particularly with the advent of electronic information, adult learners need to manage technologies knowledgeably. Information Literacy Learning Models show learners’ interaction with information, and inform instructional design. Technology can inform and enrich this process, including supporting anytime/anywhere learning. Technology-enhanced adult education that addresses information literacy has to deal with several issues: e-resources, instructor acceptance and knowledge of technology, collaboration, and interactivity. Future trends are also mentioned.
