Abstract
This chapter explores theories relevant to various online environments and seeks new ways to teach and learn in a digital age for adult learners. Adopting existing pedagogy and creating learning spaces that are relatable and comfortable for adult online learners are essential. Andragogy principles highlight the need to effectively use learning management systems, artificial intelligence (AI), and other technologies to develop a personalized and accessible experience that works optimally for adult students and faculty. Educators are encouraged to expand their mindsets regarding new technologies and learning methods such as ChatGPT application (the latest AI), and the benefits of creating personalized curriculums based on real-time data collected from students' performances through learning management systems. As online education continues to grow across all disciplines and fields, the need for personalized education is evident, and best practices must be reviewed along with ethics.

Interaction refers to how the learner is able to participate in new learning by making connections based on past experiences, and continuity refers to ongoing influences or continuing experiences that shape present and future learning by connecting formal, informal, and personal spaces.
