dc.description.abstractIt had been observed that new technologies are of growing importance and in many facets of everyday lives and livelihoods around the world. These information and communications technologies (ICTs), especially mobile devices, have special benefits for learning, both in and out of schools. The larger percentage of adults in Nigeria use smartphones which, by observation outsmarts and outnumbers sets of television available in the country. The study reported in this paper sheds light on the attitude, challenges and lesson learnt using mobile technology for learners in adult literacy programmes. The study adopted a quasi-experiment method where Twenty (20) participants were purposively selected in advanced literacy class. The learning model was designed around the context of curriculum being offered by learners. The challenges of ambiguity of mobile technology are the major constraints and the cost of data for learners. The feeling of being too old to use mobile technology to learn makes adults to see it as a sheer waste of time. The study recommended that the government should provide infrastructures specifically in the area of technology for proper integration in adult literacy programme and the provider should sensitize the learning community regarding the benefits of technology for integration.
