IFIP TC3 Lifelong Learning Working Track This book is the result of the IFIP Lifelong Learning Working Track at eTrain, 7-11 July 2003, Pori, Finland organized by the Lifelong Learning Taskforce of the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP) Technical Committee 3 (TC3) on Education. Members of the TC3 Lifelong Learning Taskforce are: Mike Kendall, United Kingdom; Brian Samways, United Kingdom (Chair); Tom van Weert, The Netherlands; Jan Wibe, Norway. The members of the Taskforce constituted the IFIP Lifelong Working Track Programme Committee that invited the contributing authors and reviewed contributions. Papers This book has been produced from reviewed papers by invited authors from Australia, Brazil, Bulgaria, Poland, Slovenia, The Netherlands, and the United Kingdom. The papers were invited to add to and reflect on the IFIP Technical Committee 3 Position Paper on Lifelong Learning, published by IFIP Technical Committee 3 in October 2003. xvi Lifelong learning in the digital age Focus Group Report In addition the book contains a Focus Group Report on Lifelong Learning in the Digital Age with associated resource documents. This Report was produced during the Lifelong Learning Working Track by invited participants: Mike Kendall, United Sasa Divjak, Slovenia; Kingdom; Carolyn Dowling, Australia; Pencho Mihnev, Bulgaria; Petra Fisser, Netherlands; Magda Ritzen, Netherlands; Anna Grabowska, Poland; Marijke Hezemans, Maciej M. Syslo, Poland; Netherlands; Rosa Vicari, Brazil; Tom van Weert, Netherlands. Editors Tom J.

Many of the early issues in the field of telE-learning are now not only recognised but are being addressed, through professional and staff development routes, through innovative technological solutions, and through approaches and concepts that are better suited to particular educational contexts. TelE-LEARNING: The Challenge for the Third Millennium provides details of the most recent advances in this area.

Many of the early issues in the field of telE-learning are now not only recognised but are being addressed, through professional and staff development routes, through innovative technological solutions, and through approaches and concepts that are better suited to particular educational contexts. TelE-LEARNING: The Challenge for the Third Millennium provides details of the most recent advances in this area, and covers issues concerned with:
-the position of on-line learning in the development of the information society;
-developments in virtual organisations, virtual institutes and virtual laboratories;
-creation and development of interactive and adaptive context-aware learning environments using intelligent agents and cognitive style match;
-integrating collaborative learning and collective competencies into on-line learning practices;
-creation and development of e-learning portals, and concerns with inter-operability;
-uses of on-line learning environments in diverse subjects, such as environmental education, mathematics and ICT;
-changes with educational organisation and the impact of culture and culturation;
-the role of case studies and models in teacher development of practice;
-educational uses of broadcasting and web-based technology;
-creation and development of assessment and computerised examination systems in on-line learning environments;
-the role of team work, team learning and team teaching in on-line learning environments used for work-based purposes;
-the role of on-line learning environments in parent-child relationships and rehabilitation situations;
-a focus on shifts in female enrolment in computer science courses;
-theories and concepts of telE-learning (including the application of activity theory and situated learning theory to on-line delivery and learning);
-developments in appropriate research methodologies for on-line learning environments.

TelE-LEARNING: The Challenge for the Third Millennium contains the edited proceedings of Stream 3 of the 17th World Computer Congress, which was sponsored by the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP) and held in Montreal, Quebec, Canada in August 2002. "
