Lifelong Learning

Online learning helps support lifelong learning.

Why is lifelong learning important? We may grow and mature but we never stop learning or we should never stop learning. Wikipedia define lifelong learning as the self motivated pursuit of knowledge for either personal or professional reasons. Also noted by Wikipedia is that lifelong learning helps promote employability and competitiveness.

Learning takes place throughout life not only in childhood and school years. Online classes, trainings or information in general makes information and resources readily available and accessible to everyone which promotes lifelong learning.

This quote by Albert Einstein sums it all up...
"Learning is not a product of schooling but the lifelong attempt to acquire it"
