Technology Adaptations within Adult Education: MOOCs

In today's world, education has become a lifelong activity rather than an activity carried out in certain periods of life. The rapid change in technology has brought about rapid and radical transformations in all areas of life. These transformations have been realized in short periods of time in a way that has never been seen before in human history. For social development, and economic and social progress, societies have had to acquire competencies to cope with these rapid transformations and lifelong learning has become increasingly important. In order to cope with this rapid transformation created by technology, technology has been used again and lifelong education processes of individuals have been carried out largely by using educational technologies. This study focuses on the adult education process, which is the most important component of lifelong learning. In the adult education process, Massive Open Online Courses (MOOC) applications, which have left their mark on the field of educational technology in recent years, are discussed. This technology, which has been frequently used in the adult education process in recent years, has been compiled by examining the studies in the literature.
