The role of Educational Technology in Lifelong Learning Islamic Azad University - Isfahan Science and Research Branch

AbstractWe live in the Knowledge Age, which means that the ability to apply the right knowledge effectively is an important skill and the cornerstone of our success. Lifelong learning after age 50 is vitally important. It helps develop natural abilities, immerse people in the wonders of life, stimulate natural curiosity about the world, increase wisdom, enable people to use their experience to make the world a better place, and help older adults face the inevitable changes of society. Without a doubt, lifelong learning is truly a health club for our minds, bodies and spirits. Using this health club every day helps ensure that our later years will be richer, more stimulated, and far more fulfilled. Lifelong learning is “all purposeful learning activity, undertaken on an ongoing basis with the aim of improving knowledge, skills and competence”
