An increasing number of students are benefiting from education later in life, bringing rich life experiences to their learning and adding value to employers and to society. Learning in a Digital Age demonstrates, through a range of case studies, how institutions are already using technology to:
• attract and retain diverse groups of learners
• offer professional development opportunities for their staff
• enhance engagement and collaboration with employers and other organisations with a stake in effective lifelong learning,
The publication signposts some of the effective higher education practice taking place in the UK and addresses the benefits and challenges that arise in a digital age. It is aimed at individuals in further and higher education who have an interest in lifelong learning:
• academic staff,
• lecturers
• tutors
• learning support staff
• learning technologists,
• and information, advice and guidance professionals.
The guide will be available online in PDF, accessible Word and e-Pub/MOBI formats for use on e-readers, together with video case studies, expert podcasts and extended versions of the case studies. These can be read online or downloaded from www.jisc.ac.uk/digilifelong from the 15th June 2012.
