Policy framework

National Policies

LLL definition

Lifelong learning is the continued education and training of people throughout their adult lives. It encompasses all academic levels and all forms of learning, whether formal, non-formal, or informal.

Our interest is in the continuing education and training of people at higher education level through structured (formal, non-formal or informal) courses or activities offered by Institutions of Higher Education.

Obstacles

Government lack of investment/recognition

Inadequate offer from HEI Uncertified commercial offer Wide competition between private

providers Absence of ICT competencies from HEI Lack of recognition of e-learning Inadequate infrastructure to support

large number of distance education students

Fight for resources

The LLL student

All students can be considered LLL students(since they are all adultsin higher education, according to the working definition). However, some demographics are shared by the partners:

▪ most of their LLL students are over the age of 25▪ the average age ranges from 30 to 38 years old▪ more than 60% are enrolled in traditional

undergraduate and graduate degrees▪ more than 50% are employed professionals

Collaborative knowledge construction

Wiki: DE theoriesThis project was made from Lisbon, Madeira, Barcelona and Salerno. It is the undeniable prrof that colaborative work is possible and can be successful in DE.

It shows us how inspite of being thousands of kilometers away, proximity is only as far as a “clic”.

It makes us proud to do a project about na author and a theory that see distance beyond the physical space, because that one, between us, never existed.
