About the Book

What does the information society really mean for adult learning? A rapidly-growing range of communication technologies is being developed to support the adult learner. Telematics applications have the potential to have an impact on education, leisure and work, but adult educators and others involved in working with adult learners need practical help if they are to make the most of the opportunities. This is the first book to place the new information and communication technologies firmly in the context of adult learning. It is written by adult educators who have used the new technologies to widen access to learning and promote independent learning. They have seen that it is possible to offer different ways to communicate and support learning, whether in college, the home, the workplace or other settings. Case studies provide examples of the pitfalls involved, good practice identified and the opportunities available. The book shows how the new communication technologies can add a completely new dimension to adult learning. It is accessible, informative and a practical resource for all who are professionally concerned with developing adult learning.
