Adult Learning in the middle of the pandemic: Applications, Challenges, and Suggestions

This article examines a current issue that concerns a large percentage of researchers and education professionals and concerns how and whether distance education for adults can succeed during the pandemic. From the study of last year"s articles which specialize in adult education in times of health crisis, it is concluded that the obstacles are many, but so are the opportunities. These obstacles are practical, and include the difficulty of using digital tools by adults compared to children, their dependence on equipment, and the fact that in-class education methods cannot be transfered directly without changes in the digital space. It also concerns the fact that adults consider distance learning to be less efficient and have been affected by the pandemic on a psychological level and not only.
