Technology has the potential to be a powerful tool for improving access to learning for adult learners. It can help create personalized pathways to support learning differences and open up a world of digital information and resources that form the gateway to today's job market. Despite enthusiasm from educators shown in recent studies, in general, adult education programs lag behind their K-12 and higher education counterparts in incorporating technology. This paper explores how digital opportunities to this underserved population can be accelerated; if technology efforts in K-12 and higher education can be used to create an environment that gives adult learners a more personalized learning experience; how the gap between enthusiasm and effective implementation can be bridged; and what evidence should inform adult education practices and policies. It presents four factors that contribute to effective implementation of technology. These factors are drawn from work that was undertaken to support fourteen program sites that participated in a study of digital learning technologies' effectiveness in adult basic education.
