Abstract

In recent years, emerging technologies have profoundly influenced the landscape of adult education, offering innovative methods and tools that enhance learning experiences. This paper explores how technologies such as artificial intelligence (Al), virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and mobile applications are transforming adult education practices. It highlights the potential of these technologies to foster learner engagement, personalized learning, and collaborative experiences, ultimately leading to more effective educational outcomes. The paper also examines the challenges and ethical considerations associated with implementing these technologies. The findings suggest that while emerging technologies present numerous opportunities for transformative practices in adult education, careful consideration of their application is essential to ensure equitable access and meaningful learning experiences
