Abstract

The digital era makes it easy for everyone to access information in everyday life. The sophistication of digital technology accompanied by digital devices has made major changes to human life. Various groups have facilitated access to information in many ways, and can enjoy the facilities of digital technology freely and under control. However, currently the implementation of technology in learning has not been evenly applied effectively, especially for technology users as adults in community education units. It is necessary to do research, to find out to what extent learners are able to use and utilize technology for learning purposes. This research was conducted for 6 months by applying quantitative descriptive research methods survey techniques. The survey was distributed to learning citizens in 4 community education units totaling 72 people with an age range of 25-40 years. The results show that learning citizens already have digital literacy and are able to implement technology in adult learning characterized by ownership of technology devices and their use for e-learning needs and other daily life needs as well as mastery of multimedia skill, graphic design, and use of Microsoft Office to support learning.
