Drafts by Ernie F Ladd
The proliferation of technology and online learning has created a wealth of learning
opportunities for educational institutions, businesses and adult learners. As more and more
adult learners seek to gain knowledge through formal and informal training delivered through
self-paced distance learning, barriers to successful learning continue to crop up and have to be
dealt with by instructional designers. Because computer-based learning involves learning both a
the system of content delivery and the content itself, many adult learners are stymied and
frustrated by the learning system due to a lack of prior experience with technology and
assistance from course instructors. This paper outlines the factors that cause “technophobia”
or computer anxiety in adult learners, and suggests several methods of coping with that anxiety
so that it does not cripple the adult learner. Preparing them to utilize the technology involved
in a non-threatening context that will allow them to succeed is critical to foster positive
attitudes in adults towards technology and learning.
