| description | Lifelong Learning is becoming more important as the median age of the world and the pace
of change continues to increase. It has become part of key national development strategy to
update and upgrade the knowledge of its citizen to meet the challenges of globalization. This
paper reviews the goals and process of lifelong learning, which may be academic or nonacademic,
pre-employment or post-employment, formal, semi-formal or informal. It then
examines the deployment of modern information communication technology (ICT), and its
effects of accelerating the life-long learning process. Among the modes of delivery, the
authors contended that Open and Distance Learning (ODL) with blended mode of delivery is
perhaps the most effective means of implementing lifelong learning. The issues of
assessment and accreditation, especially the validation and recognition of informal learning
remain one of the main obstacles to the implementation of lifelong learning. (Authors' abstract) |
