Guidelines for Designing AI Technologies to Support Adult Learning

ArXi:2605.04616v1 Announce Type: cross AI-powered educational technologies have nstrated measurable benefits for learners, but their design and evaluation have largely centered on K-12 contexts. As a result, many AI-ed learning systems remain poorly aligned with the needs, constraints, and goals of adult learners. To better understand how AI systems function in adult education, this paper examines the deployment of several AI learning technologies developed within a multidisciplinary, national research institute in the United States focused on adult learning and online education.
