We debate the key concerns of adult education as envisioned by the presenters and participants and seek to uncover the places and spaces where adult education is shifting, exploring, and creating meaning, justice, and peace in our personal, social, and spiritual worlds. The symposium is guided by social constructivism and transformational learning theories. Shifting Expectations: Designing Effective Educational Technology for
