Abstract | Society is rapidly transforming into one which is based on information requiring its citizens to be familiar with information based resources and manipulations. This paper focuses on the continuing education and relevance of educational technology for adult learners; explains the using of computer based educational technologies such as Computer Assisted Instruction (CAI), computer assisted interactive learning and Computer-Mediated Communication (CMC) in adult education; and examines the advantages and suitability of these methods from the point of the adult learning characteristics. A descriptive survey research design was adopted; using simple random sampling technique to pick 50 adult teachers and 50 adult learners in Ojo Local Government Area of Lagos State. The data collected were analyzed using descriptive statistics of frequency counts and percentages for demographic data, while inferential statistics of chi-square was used to test hypotheses. Three hypotheses formulated and tested. It was deduced from the findings that continuing education is a process of self-directed inquiry through which individuals systematically learn from their daily experiences and other resources and educational technologies in their environment. Technologies offer ways of individualizing instruction to meet the needs of adult learners and can offer opportunities to individualize instruction; reaching all adult learners in ways they learn best.
