Technology plays a vital role in the field of e-Learning in adult education curriculum. The intent for this chapter is to explore the implications for e-Learning in hopes to stimulate attention as it relates to the acquisition of knowledge and inferences for higher education practitioners and program designers in terms of the contexts of students, embedded technology, and faculty. Conquering the challenges facing technology implications in any educational system is vital and ideally this chapter offers a means of collective literature to increase the quite extensive and potentially overwhelming components of effective curriculum programs within the field of adult education, using embedded technology. This chapter highlights briefly some of the concepts and identifies simple and applicable suggestions for increasing effectiveness of embedded technology into higher education curriculum and adult education teaching.

Brazilian public universities are undergoing an intense process of change in search of solutions to transform themselves into institutions that are more attuned to 21st century social needs. In this regard, the aim of this study was to analyze a new higher education curriculum offered at the Federal University of Bahia (UFBA): the Interdisciplinary Bachelor's degree in Healthcare. This was a preliminary qualitative investigation, accomplished as a case study. The methodological tools used include document analysis, open interviews and participant observation. It was seen that the teachers were engaged in the process of putting together a course that promotes training of professionals qualified to undertake social development. It was also noted that the students were themselves proving to be capable of deep critical reflection on social issues. It was therefore concluded that the case studied has provided the results expected by the higher education institution hosting the course.
