Adult Ed × Ed Tech
A Working Space for Digital Learning in Adult Education
Most edtech discourse wasn't built with adult learners in mind. AdultEdTech sits at the intersection of adult education and educational technology — spanning instructional design, distance learning, digital and AI-enabled approaches, and field-based research — with an eye toward how these ideas actually hold up under real-world conditions.
The site invites practitioners, researchers, and field-based thinkers to examine how instructional ideas get designed, implemented, and stress-tested in adult education contexts.
It's also a space for the adult education community to think out loud — where instructional ideas get questioned, tested, and complicated by the realities of practice.
Thanks for being here. Welcome to the work.
