ABSTRACT
Adults are autonomous and self-directed learners and have accumulated a foundation of life experiences and knowledge that may include workrelated activities, family responsibilities, and previous education. Adults are goal and relevancy oriented, and practical, focusing on the aspects of a lesson most useful to them in their work. Yet in some circles, adults have been described as technology averse people who will not embrace the integration of technology into their learning. The growing use of the internet, the world-wide-web and social media as tools for information access and communication has strengthened the use of information communication technology (ICT) in adult classrooms and learning settings. The recent Covid-19 pandemic has made it imperative to integrate technology in teaching and learning. This study examined views of adult learners at the University of Ghana's School of Continuing and Distance Education about important issues in adult learning and ways to enhance effective integration of ICT for adult teaching and learning. Respondents were enroled in the Diploma programme in Adult Education, and the study population was 210 adult learners in the two streams of the Diploma programme out of which 100 were sampled. Respondents completed a questionnaire structured on a five-point Likert scale which helped to tap respondents' perceptions about the issues of interest. Adult learners' identified a growing need to explore efficiencies in terms of programme delivery with technology, and the capacity of technology to provide support for customised educational programmes to meet the needs of individual learners as very important. They also understand that technology is an important tool beyond the current Covid-19 era and that how technology fits into the complex realities of the classroom is a very critical factor in creating real change in the lives of adult learners. © 2023 by Nova Science Publishers, Inc.
