The connected learning framework was used to analyze Twitter posts of Saudi Arabian educators for the duration of 1 year while the educators were involved in a training program in the United States. This framework has typically been applied to youth and not to adult learners; however, learning does not stop at any particular age. Through an analysis of the technological trail of posts on Twitter, this paper demonstrates how each part of the connected learning framework, adapted for adult learners, manifested therein. This includes contexts for learning (colleague-supported, inquiry-driven, and improvement-oriented proposed by Eidman-Aadahl [2012]), core properties, guiding design principles, and the role of new media. The ability to expand the connected learning framework to apply to a specific set of adult learners is a step toward applying the connected learning framework to learners of all ages.
