This US study investigated whether five web-based instructional programs increased the capacity of adult basic education (ABE) programs to provide efficient and effective learning opportunities to adult students. One-hundred and five instructors and 1,579 adult learners participated in the study. Implications for ABE program administrators and instructors, and developers and vendors are provided. The report addresses the need to assess the usefulness of digital instruction in promoting academic skills development of challenged adults in ABE programs. It provides information that teachers and administrators can use in selecting an online program. Reliable data is needed to justify the cost of equipment and implement of digital instruction. More research is needed on the conditions under which adults learn better through different types of digital instruction.
