Canada's federally funded English language programming has historically overlooked the holistic learning needs of adult literacy learners, who have limited prior education and low English proficiency. Literacy learners' educational and language needs are further compounded by limited digital literacy, as they face barriers to accessing and…

This systematic literature review explores the ethical considerations and challenges instructional designers face when integrating artificial intelligence (AI) into the instructional design process for adult learners. Using the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) framework to examine the relationship of ethics, pedagogy, and…

This article explores the evolution and expansion of experiential learning theory (ELT) within the context of contemporary adult education, emphasizing the integration of technology, interdisciplinarity, and cultural responsiveness. Although Kolb's foundational model has been instrumental in linking theoretical knowledge with practical…

This study explores the effectiveness of experiential learning in teaching generative AI to entrepreneurs and small business owners. The in-person training program, grounded in Kolb's Experiential Learning Theory, aimed to enhance participants' understanding, attitudes, and perceived benefits of AI adoption. Through a structured cycle of Concrete…

Purpose: The present study aimed to integrate artificial intelligence technology (ChatGPT) with an in-depth literature review to explore knowledge dimensions of professional teaching and information and communication technology (ICT) integration models in TVET, and utilize the Delphi technique and ChatGPT to examine, enhance, and validate a newly…

This conceptual article provides a comprehensive overview of the current status of Artificial Intelligence (AI) integration and its influence on adult education. It discusses generative AI technologies and their potential applications in adult education settings, examines the opportunities and ethical challenges associated with integrating AI, and…

As artificial intelligence (AI) rapidly transforms higher education, faculty are increasingly expected to integrate AI tools into curriculum design, assessment, and instruction, often without adequate preparation. This article examines how Centers for Teaching and Learning (CTLs) can effectively support faculty adopting AI technologies through…

Today, seven out of 10 Americans use social media to communicate with one another, follow news stories, learn, and for pleasure. The problem is social media is underutilized by university faculty as a communication and curriculum tool for adult learners. There is a gap in the literature focusing on the university-level use of social media for…

How can schools integrate the lessons of remote learning during the COVID-19 pandemic into their face-to-face teaching. What guidelines can teachers use to be sure they are integrating technology? In this article, we propose an adaptation of the Triple E Framework to guide this work. The goal of the framework is to ensure that technology use…

This systematic review examines the empirical literature published between 2015 and 2021 on mobile-based microlearning in adult learning contexts. The rapid shift to online learning in 2020 in response to the global COVID-19 pandemic has emphasized the need to explore flexible learning options for adult learners. The convenience of mobile-based…

Adult learners are a neglected species in the generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) era. The sweeping changes brought by GenAI in the educational arena have implications for adult learning. GenAI in education will usher in a world of adult learning that will be radically different from its predecessor. However, how adult learners will apply…

The persistent digital divide in the Philippine education sector poses significant challenges for both teachers and learners, particularly in the non-formal pathway of education called the Alternative Learning System (ALS). Using the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) framework, this study explored how the contexts of ALS teachers…

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, many schools in the U.S. pivoted to provide services to students using technology to mitigate the need for face-to-face interactions. In addition to providing instruction using distance technology, it was necessary for schools to conduct much of their other business in a way that limited face-to-face interactions,…

Purpose: Using the framework of Adult Learning Theory, this study worked to uncover the composition of rural landowners' information sources and learner characteristics that impact information-seeking behavior among maple syrup producers in Wisconsin. Design: Regression models were used to analyze data from a survey targeted at Wisconsin maple…

Teaching and learning in higher education have increasingly become digitalized and associated with innovative pedagogical methodologies over the past decades. Following the sudden onset of the pandemic in March 2020, several studies tended to focus on traditional students' experiences with emergency remote education while literature is scarce on…
