A comprehensive exploration of technology's role in adult learning
Technology and Innovation in Adult Learning introduces educators
and students to the intersection of adult learning and the growing
technological revolution. Written by an internationally recognized
expert in the field, this book explores the theory, research, and
practice driving innovation in both adult learning and learning
technology, and illuminates a powerful approach to recognize and
leverage these opportunities. Building on current trends and
research in technology and its use, each chapter illustrates the
need, opportunities, and examples of current and future
technologies that scaffold adult learning, and provides
comprehensive coverage of both current and emerging challenges.
Many adult learning faculty, practitioners, and students realize
that technology presents a growing and ever-present set of issues,
yet few feel confident in identifying the opportunities that arise
with each step forward. This book clarifies the interplay between
adult learning and learning technology, and characterizes the
cyclic exchange of information and opportunities that link these
fields now and in the future. * Understand the critical issues
currently affecting adult learning * Learn how technology is
presenting both opportunities and challenges for the teaching and
learning of adults in different contexts * Examine recent research
on learning technology for adult learners * Discover how
technological innovation can be applied now and how it will
continue to shape the future of learning Adult learning is on the
rise, and there is no mistaking technology's role; whether they're
learning with or about technology, today's adult learners come with
unique sets of needs and skills that demand specialized approaches.
Traditional pedagogical techniques don't transfer directly, and
learning technology requires its own unique approach to development
and use. Technology and Innovation in Adult Learning equips
practitioners to further adult learning and shape the future of the
field, while providing a rich perspective for classroom inquiry and
research.
