Abstract: As adult learners with disabilities increasingly participate in higher education, adult educators must adapt their instructional practices and learning environments to meet all learners' needs. Information Ecology Theory studies how social structures such as higher education institutions serve students with disabilities. The theory explores how people, practices, values, and technologies within an institution can strengthen teaching and learning. This paper aims to illustrate how Information Ecology Theory can assist adult educators in developing accessible and inclusive courses for adult learners. Specifically, we will discuss how adult educators, disability support services, instructional designers, and information technologists can partner to serve all adult learners.
