Abstract: The paper examined the benefits and constraints to adult educators’ adoption of technological innovations for quality delivery of formal adult education programmes in Nigeria. Concepts such as innovation, technological innovations, quality delivery, adult education, formal adult education programmes and adult educators/facilitators were clarified. The paper identified computer and interactive whiteboard as technological innovations for enhancing quality delivery of adult education programmes. The paper concluded that the adoption of technological innovations in the area of computer and interactive whiteboard is the best thing that happened in education. In modern times, computer is used in aiding instruction and to manage learning while electronic interactive whiteboard offer great convenience to adult educators during lessons. In spite of these benefits, much of the desired changes in education are smaller than expected due to constraints such as limited access to Information & Communication Technology (ICT), adoption of technology, poor environment, dearth of skilled manpower, poor power supply among others. The paper suggested among others that government should ensure that technological tools such as computers and interactive whiteboards are adequately provided in adult education centres.
