OTAN is very excited to share that the updated California Adult Education Digital Learning Guidance (DLG) is now published!
You can find the new DLG on the updated website here, where you will find:
- The full PDF
- Web-based versions of each chapter
- A new chapter on Generative AI
Note: The Explore Key Resources section of the site is live and currently includes tools from the 2022 version. It will be updated over the coming weeks as new materials are finalized.
About the update
Our goal with this revision was to build on the 2022 version and make the Guidance more relevant, practical, and accessible for today’s adult education contexts. We are eager to hear what you think and welcome feedback as you explore the updated content.
What’s coming next
Over the next few months, we will continue adding resources to support implementation, including:
- New short video examples highlighting digital learning in practice
- An updated self-paced online course
- A new facilitator’s guide aligned with the AI chapter
Opportunities to get involved
We are excited to share two new professional learning and outreach efforts and hope you will consider participating and helping spread the word.
- Facilitated course cohort
- A 10-week cohort beginning in mid-March
- Blends asynchronous activities with live sessions
- Free and open to all adult educators in California
