Lifelong learners constantly re-design their learning environments in recognition of the places in which they perform interactions with people, spaces, artifacts and

resources through which they achieve their work.

Ubiquitous Technology …

Lifelong learning has become a necessity for all citizens. We need to develop our skills and competences throughout our lives, not only for our personal fulfillment and our ability to

actively engage with the society in which we live, but for our ability to be successful in a constantly changing world.

European Commission (2007)
