Project Overview

The project topic, "Utilizing Technology to Enhance Adult Literacy Skills in Non-traditional Learners," focuses on the application of technology to improve the literacy skills of adult learners who fall outside the traditional education system. This research aims to address the challenges faced by non-traditional learners, such as adults returning to education after a long absence or individuals with diverse learning needs, by leveraging technological tools and resources to enhance their literacy capabilities. In recent years, technology has played a significant role in transforming education, providing new opportunities for personalized learning, interactive engagement, and skill development. However, the application of technology in adult education, particularly in the context of enhancing literacy skills, remains an underexplored area. Non-traditional learners often face unique barriers to learning, including time constraints, lack of resources, and varying levels of prior education, making it essential to design innovative and inclusive approaches to support their literacy development. By investigating the integration of technology into adult education programs tailored for non-traditional learners, this research seeks to explore how digital tools, online platforms, and interactive resources can be effectively utilized to improve reading, writing, and comprehension skills. Through a comprehensive examination of existing literature, best practices, and case studies in adult education and technology integration, this study aims to identify effective strategies and interventions that can be implemented to enhance adult literacy outcomes in diverse learner populations. The research methodology will involve a combination of qualitative and quantitative approaches, including literature review, surveys, interviews, and possibly experimental interventions to assess the impact of technology on adult literacy skills. By examining the effectiveness of different technological interventions, the study aims to provide insights into the best practices and recommendations for educators, policymakers, and stakeholders in the adult education sector to support non-traditional learners in improving their literacy proficiency. Ultimately, the goal of this research is to contribute to the advancement of adult education practices by highlighting the potential of technology as a valuable tool for enhancing literacy skills in non-traditional learners. By bridging the gap between technology and adult literacy education, this project aims to empower individuals who may have previously faced barriers to learning, enabling them to improve their literacy skills, achieve their educational goals, and enhance their overall quality of life.
