Abstract

Volumes of research exist which explains adults’ participation in adult education. Research suggests that adults participate in adult education for a variety of reasons. Nonetheless, adults also face a variety of barriers to their participation. Whether in a traditional or distance education format, adults may confront barriers to their learning. Now that technology plays such an important role in adult learning, new and returning adults may find additional barriers. Some barriers are within learners’ control. On the other hand, institutions can take measures to eliminate other barriers and enhance learning.
