| Abstract | The advancement in information and communication technology and its application in teaching and learning tools have taken learning to a higher level. Innovations in information and communication technology and its deployment in teaching and learning aid adult learning through the distance education mode. Accra Learning Centre hosts the biggest student population pursuing degree programmes through the distance education mode in Ghana. Simple descriptive statistics were adopted to help build a case for using the qualitative data. A descriptive narrative design was employed for conducting the study which tilts towards the qualitative case study approach to investigate the meanings and experiences adult learners have had when using the Sakai Learning Management System platform. In-depth interviews and focus group discussions were used to collect data from 50 adult learners who participated in the study. Most (80%) of the learners indicated that they faced difficulties, including accessing computers, course materials online, weak link, poor network interface and connectivity, as well as power fluctuations when they started learning with the Sakai Learning Management System, which changed with time. The information and communication technology platform created greater access to self-learning. The study concludes that the information and communication technology laboratories should be refurbished -- and equipped with new computer accessories -- for an increased access to the Sakai Learning Management System.
