Abstract
Most educational institutions have been forced to transition to online education, prompting the adaptation of instructional approaches to ensure the diverse student population is accommodated. Digital learning platforms have created educational barriers for many adult students as the shift towards online education has accelerated due to the global COVID-19 pandemic. Decades of traditional classroom experiences have enabled learned behaviour and the shift to online may no longer align with the students’ preferences, decreasing motivation and resulting in suboptimal outcomes. Exploration of the transition from traditional to online education has found technological barriers and the development of inclusive learning environments as transitional complexities for the adult learner. Examination of advantages and disadvantages of age-appropriate inclusive learning environments enables adaptation to equivalent learning opportunities. The transition to online education presents challenges and opportunities; however, through continuous evaluation and refinement, adaptation of digital learning can enhance the adult learner experience.
