Technological integration involves not only course instructors, adult learners, but also institutions. In addition, this chapter covers the evolution of technology, ranging from correspondence education to Web 2.0 technologies. By reading this chapter, readers will get to know under what circumstances integration of technology is possible and how to integrate technology into teaching and learning. More importantly, readers will change their mentality about integration into teaching and learning in the new century. They will come to the realization that integration of technology into teaching and learning will facilitate learning, not inhibit learning.
