Tech Tuesdays: iPads in adult literacy class: benefits and challenges with guest presenters from Hamilton Literacy Council

This research report is based on the study of the perceptions and experiences of ten adult learners with digital media as they work through small group sessions to create their own digital texts and then reflect on whether and how they think that digital media might help them build digital literacy skills and whether they might be able to apply these skills in their daily lives.

The purpose of this small scale study was twofold: 

• To explore and understand the attitudes and experiences of adult Canadians who are non-users or limited users of digital media and Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs).
• To investigate the ways in which adult learners use and respond to digital media in order to expand their communication potential.
