Description

The integration of educational technologies in adult learning environments is viewed from three distinct perspectives. The three perspectives are the structuralist, the means-end, and finally, a view of technology as an extension of oneself based in the situatedness of an experiential-type learning environment.

The various constructs of adult learning are reviewed and a framework for future adult learning communities is proposed that identifies the learner and educator provided components needed for an effective adult learning experience.
