Learning scenarios

These learning scenarios across five key areas demonstrate ways to include emerging technologies in adult education programmes. From managing personal finances with AI-powered budgeting tools to building connections in digital communities, these scenarios show a multitude of opportunities to consider emerging technologies in adult learning, focusing on pedagogy and not solely on the digital technology or resource. They are relevant for the specific needs of the adult education sector (with focus on holistic literacy programmes and adults in vulnerable situations), from the perspective of organisations, learning activities designers, educators and learners.

The consortium developed the scenarios to be adaptable to different contexts, lengths and resource levels and include the following areas:

• Literacy and Numeracy
• Personal, Social and Learning to Learn
• Digital spaces and communities
• Environment sustainability
• Democracy and active engagement 

These learning scenarios were influenced by the practical implications of the research elaborated previously, as well as the main insights gathered from educators and other adult learning stakeholders through three external events with 150+ participants. 

Whether you’re working on literacy and numeracy, democracy and active engagement, sustainability, personal and interpersonal capacities, or digital spaces and communities, these examples offer starting points that you can adapt, modify, and make your own with the help of the learners!
