Abstract: |
Global expansion of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has changed the way we create and consume information. As of December 2017, fifty percent of the users of the Internet reside in Asia. Besides collaborating on common interests people are forming virtual on-line communities and utilizing Social Networks to share knowledge and their life experiences. Although the rate of change in terms of usage of technology in education has been slow but the rise of Social Networks such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram and YouTube have drastically changed the way we live. Life Long Learning (LLL) is not just a slogan any more, it is taking new forms with every new technology innovation. The increasing use of the internet and Web 3.0 technologies is widening world-wide participation in LLL. Although politicians and educationalists have been quick to herald such initiatives as revolutionizing education and extending learning opportunities to “anyone”, “anytime and anywhere” basis, but there has been little empirical analysis of how ICT is actually impacting LLL. With this in mind, this paper attempts to explore current trends and technologies available for LLL. |
