This curated collection brings together articles, publications and online courses to support adult learning and education practitioners in understanding emerging technologies and start embedding them in their practice.
Resources have been collected by the ETHLAE project partners from across Europe. The repository includes materials on both technical aspects, how emerging technologies work, and transversal aspects such as ethical considerations and pedagogical approaches.
Resources are primarily available in English, with some materials offered in other languages. The ETHLAE project is not affiliated with any of these organisations, and cannot assume responsibility for their content.
We invite you to explore these resources, and share your experiences with these resources. If you discover additional tools or materials that have proven valuable in your work with adult learners, please let us know so we can continue growing this collective knowledge base.
