The number of non-traditional students entering college is growing, and those without experience using educational technology may experience additional challenges. The use of technology on college campuses is pervasive starting with the admissions application and continuing to registration, classroom participation, and persisting through applying…

Academic dishonesty is a major issue in education. Perhaps more so in the online environment where may times students are on their honor to complete exams without the use of the Internet, notes, or other prohibited materials. The age range of 18-24 encompasses the traditional aged student body. The non-traditional students are over the age of 25…

In this study, the researcher explored the experiences of adult learners in Nigerian universities using smartphones and mobile learning applications to access, facilitate, and enhance learning. The study focused on how these technologies impact students' learning, particularly seamless access to numerous learning resources, enjoyment, cost, and…

Technology integration is a key part of a 2-year teacher education program at the Canadian university; nontraditional students seemed unprepared to use technology for learning. The purpose of this study was to investigate nontraditional students' perceptions and experiences about their successes and challenges using technology in the program. The…

Mobile devices, and their applications, are becoming common-place around the world, and especially with adult-age college students in the United States. At the same time, community college students who are interested in becoming members of the trade workforce, such as auto mechanics, are continuing to need to learn basic mathematic concepts such…

Adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) are more frequently unemployed or under-employed than individuals without disabilities. Job search skills are one of the most direct ways to counter unemployment. Remote audio coaching (RAC) has shown to be an effective, remote method for teaching skills to adults with IDD. Since the…

Data show that the university student population is increasingly more diverse than in the past. Certainly, the conventional college student profile has evolved with approximately three out of every four students now falling into groups previously deemed nontraditional, including adult learners and first-generation students and students who…

In the ever-evolving landscape of technology and labour markets, the imperative for lifelong learning (LLL) for professional engineers has become evident. The need for interventions to equip higher education students with LLL competencies is crucial for their sustainable careers. This systematic review explores interventions in higher education…

The problem in this study is lack of research regarding perceptions of first-year nontraditional students (FYNTSs) who are enrolled in a face-to-face community college course regarding how mobile learning in the classroom affects their emotional engagement. Understanding this provides critical insights as well as enhanced and more accessible…

In writing studies research, automated writing evaluation technology is typically examined for a specific, often narrow purpose: to evaluate a particular writing improvement measure, to mine data for changes in writing performance, or to demonstrate the effectiveness of a single technology and accompanying validity arguments. This article adopts a…

This paper highlights adult female learners' perception and experiences with blended distance education (DE) program in the University of Ghana. It specifically investigates female students' experiences with male and female tutors' tutoring styles, learner support services, the use of educational technology as well as the extent of the…

In this paper, we develop a context-aware, tablet-based learning module for adult education. Specifically, we focus on adult education in healthcare-teaching learners to perform a medical screening procedure. Based upon how learners navigate through the learning module (e.g. swipe-speed and click duration, among others), we use machine learning to…

In writing studies research, automated writing evaluation technology is typically examined for a specific, often narrow purpose: to evaluate a particular writing improvement measure, to mine data for changes in writing performance, or to demonstrate the effectiveness of a single technology and accompanying validity arguments.

This study examined the perceptions of satisfaction, engagement, comfort, and confidence level with Web 2.0 technologies as learning strategies in online courses, as well as differences based on gender, age, race, income, and a correlation among these factors and digital skills. The researcher survey design was used for this study, and was sent to…

Although online distance education provides adult learners with an opportunity for lifelong learning, technology-enabled learner support remains a challenge. The COVID-19 pandemic introduced additional complications. The purpose of the current study was to determine which form of technology-enabled academic learner support students would prefer,…
