Digital technology is everywhere, and it’s here to stay. Applying for jobs, paying bills, or checking the weather can be done anywhere there is internet access—if you know how to do it.

Digital learning tools also help adult learners succeed, for a number of reasons:

  • Empowerment: learning a new skill builds confidence and increases self-sufficiency.
  • Motivation: technologies are often novel and appealing alternatives to traditional education.
  • Immediacy: digital learning is available at times and places convenient to the learner; more practice means more achievement.
  • Relevance: learners choose resources that support their individual learning goals.
