Technology-enhanced Learning and Teaching in Adult Education

Abstract: Students are being developed an understanding of how to plan, build and implement learning projects based on digital media and technology-rich learning approaches in adult learning. The topic includes both a theoretical basis on the principles of media pedagogy and practical project development experience that develops students’ ability to critically evaluate the role of technology in the learning process and develop educational solutions for real lecture theatres.

As part of the topic, students learn how multimedia, digital tools, virtual learning environments, social networks, content creation platforms, and interactive elements can be used to enrich learning experiences, strengthen engagement, and support adult learning motivations. Students learn the design principles of the project: formulating objectives, defining the role of educator and participant, media choice, structuring, aspects of developing digital competences and creating an inclusive learning environment.

Abstract: Students are given a look at how the rapidly changing digital environment, access to information and patterns of knowledge creation affect the learning and education system of modern adults. The topic analyses how the knowledge society transforms learning processes, skills, the development of professional identity and the importance of lifelong learning.

Students are exploring a shift in adult learning habits related to information wealth, automation, the development of artificial intelligence, the use of digital platforms and global forms of knowledge circulation. It looks at how the information society builds a new set of competences – digital literacy, media literacy, collaborative and self-guided learning skills, as well as critical thinking, which becomes an essential element of intellectual sustainability.

The topic also draws attention to the social and educational inequalities that are exacerbating in the information society, highlighting the risks of digital cracks, information filtering and algorithmic influences, and the ability of adults to navigate disinformation and oversaturation environments. In the lesson, students analyse how educational institutions and adult education professionals, including supervisors, can build support mechanisms that help to learn safely, qualitatively and critically.

As a result, students acquire the skills to critically evaluate the influence of the information and knowledge society and to apply these lessons professionally in practice.

Abstract: At the heart of the theme is also the issue of knowledge production and transformation, including open resources, co-creation culture, collective intelligence, artificial intelligence and new models of learning ecosystems that are changing the paradigm of adult learning. Students learn how to harness the potential of the information and knowledge society while recognising its challenges and the need for an ethically, socially responsible and sustainable approach.

Abstract: Students are presented with adult education policies and implementation in Europe, analysing both strategic documents at European Union level and the practical implementation and challenges of member states. As part of the course, students learn how policies, funding programmes and European initiatives constitute modern, inclusive and skills-oriented adult learning.

Students are presented with the latest EU policy papers.

Abstract: The topic under consideration provides an understanding of how visual tools can be used to deepen understanding, structure knowledge and promote self-guided learning in adult learning. Visualization is seen as both a teaching method and a technique that helps learners better manage information, identify connections, model thinking processes and track their growth.

The topic includes analysis and practical application of various forms of visualization: concept maps, mind maps, process mapping, hybrid visual notes, graphic fasillation, digital charts, visual stories, learning feeds (learning pathways) and infographics. Students learn how these tools help make complex concepts more accessible, how they serve as a support mechanism for memory, and how they can help adults learn more flexibly and meaningfully.

In the lesson, students practically develop visualization solutions that reflect their learning styles, professional contexts and pedagogical goals. As a result of learning the topic, students are able to reasonably choose appropriate visualization tools, integrate them into the learning process, and create technology-based visuals that promote clarity, structuring, and deeper understanding.

Abstract: Students are presented with a theoretical and practical framework for understanding and creating quality, targeted and ethically responsible media content, as well as developing the ability to critically analyse information across different digital platforms. In the context of adult learning, this theme reflects an essential set of competences: digital literacy, media literacy, analytical processing of information and creative communication.

Within the scope of the study topic, students learn the processes for creating media content, from audience analysis, formulation of communication goals and formulation of a narcotic structure to selection of visual and technological tools. Attention is paid to the principles of content language, visual design, storytelling and digital influences, as well as to ethical and legal issues: copyright, data protection and responsible online communication.

The topic highlights critical analysis methodology that helps students recognize mechanisms of media influence, manipulative strategies, disinformation, stereotypes and ideological constructions.

In the lesson, students create their own media products -- visual stories, informational materials, micro-learning resources or digital campaigns -- and simultaneously analyze them using critical media literacy approaches. This practice develops creativity, communication skills and the ability to educate adults in a targeted and qualitative way.

At the end of the study topic, students are able to evaluate the impact of media content professionally, create ethical and pedagogically substantiated content and critically analyse information that is essential in today’s knowledge and information society.

Abstract: The study topic covers pedagogical competences of the teaching staff, including diagnosis of adult learning needs, planning of the learning process, application of andragogical principles, teaching management, formal evaluation and facilitation of reflection. There is a particular emphasis on the ability to work with diverse lecture theatres, encouraging inclusion and adapting flexible learning forms. Digital competences, which in today’s knowledge society have become one of the essential components of the teaching staff’s professional activities, as well as socio-emotional and communication competences essential for working with adult lecture theatre, are also being looked at.
