Abstract
An adult basic education (ABE) class website can integrate educational theories and technology to center students as learners and creators. This research explored educational theories that include andragogy, other adult-specific learning theories, heutagogy, constructivism, culturally relevant theories, and traditional teacher-centered learning models and methods. This project integrated those learning theories with the online modality of a tool-rich class website to promote digital literacy and center students as learners and creators actively participating in their own learning. The project is a Google Sites class website that can be used as a model or template for ABE teachers to copy, modify, and use in a variety of learning contexts and content areas within ABE. It features class and school resources, online journals, portfolios, wikis, discussion areas, and more. The website is intended to be a flexible tool used by teachers to lead and facilitate student learning and creating and used by students to practice digital skills, showcase their backgrounds, and learn in a hands-on and interactive way.
