  1. Lifelong Learning: Issues of Effective Implementation Lee S.T.1, Chia B.C. & Dr Nik Hasnaa Nik Mahmood2 1 Center for Graduate Studies, Open University Malaysia, Malaysia. 2 University Teknoligi Malaysia LLL Issues of Effective Implementation

  2. World Population on 14/11/2011: 7,003,082,000

  3. Increasing Medium Population Age Male Female 75-79 70-74 65-69 60-64 55-59 50-54 45-49 40-44 35-39 30-34 25-29 20-24 15-19 10-14 5- 9 0- 4 75-79 70-74 65-69 60-64 55-59 50-54 45-49 40-44 35-39 30-34 25-29 20-24 15-19 10-14 5- 9 0- 4 • 7b 2011, +2.2b by 2050 • +1.4b Asian, + 1b African, • -0.2b European & N American) • 25-59 cannot support 60+ • Need to extend working age • Need to re-train and re-skill

  4. Increasing Pace of Change

  5. Needs of Lifelong Learning • Globalization + Increasing Medium Age + • Pace of change •  • Need to continually upgrade and update knowledge •  • Life-long Learning • Continued learning & adapting, or left-behind

  6. Types of Lifelong Learning • Academic / Non-academic • Pre-employment / Post employment • Formal / Semi-formal / Informal

  7. Four Pillars of Lifelong Learning • Learning to Know • Acquire instruments of Learning; Learning to learn • Learning to Do • Act creatively on one’s environment • Learning to Live Together • Participate and co-operate with other people in all human activities • Learning to be • Develop one’s personality & to be able to act with greater autonomy, judgment and responsibility •  Proposed in Delores Report (1998) & reaffirmed by the Belen Framework for Action, Confintea VI in 2009.

  8. Adult Education and Lifelong Learning

  9. Lifelong Learning in the Workplace • Human Resource Development (HRD) practice of larger organizations • Types of Learning • In-house / external training • Formal / on-the-job training • Instructor-led / Self-managed • Justifications: • Skill improvements, productivity, goal alignment, quality improvement • Continuous improvement, career development, employee-centred learning organization

  10. ICT and Lifelong Learning • Extend traditional modes of learning • Classroom face-to-face, correspondence, on-the-job • Basic Tools • PC, Notebooks, iPad, Smartphones • Facilities • Internet, Network, Wifi, LMS (Moodle, Blackboard, myLMS, Studynet) • Lifelong Learning Modes • Online, Distance Learning, Blended ODL • Applications • Khanacademy, MIT Opencourseware, Second Life

  11. ODL Delivery Modes Delivery Modes at OUM (Ali, 2005)

  12. Self-managed Learning • Learner empowerment • Learner manages learning process: • What to study, where to study, when to study and how fast to acquire the knowledge • Obtain lectures & coursework materials on-demand • Learner manages own learning progress • Learner manages balance between work and study

  13. Implementation Issues and Challenges • Literacy • Indispensable foundation and pre-requisite • English Language • Essential for accessibility, efficient and timely global delivery and obsolescence avoidance • Poor participation • Due to poor accessibility and attitude problems • Overcome by incentives and personal commitment • Lack of Structure, Policy and Funding • Government and private sector CSR • Assessment & Recognition • Accreditation & Recognition of prior learning

  14. Implementation Issues and Challenges • Continuous Improvements in LLL Materials • Improvements in ICT: capabilities, devices, presentation (Smartphones, iPads, blogs, facebook, twitter) • Improvements in contents available (Wikipedia, khanacademy, MIT Opencourseware) • Learner/Teacher Incompatibilities • Learners exposed to & expects modern mode of delivery and materials • Improving Skill of Instructors • Use of latest ICT tools especially multimedia
