Digital Adult Education - A Key to Global Development?
herausgegeben von Anja ThöneWhat is the role of digital media and ICT in adult education worldwide? What challenges and opportunities emerge for adult education institutions, teachers and learners? What methodological and structural changes does digital learning pull along with it?
The editor Anja Thöne, desk officer at DVV International, the Institute for International Cooperation of the German Adult Education Association – creates a new term, pitching the thesis that there already is a “digital adult education”. Cross-topic contributions by authors from international civil society, government and academic partners give an introduction to the development of digital learning in adult education and address issues of development cooperation. Authors report on projects in Macedonia, Kosovo, Morocco, Georgia and Latin America. All the contributions have in common the question of the social role of the connection between adult education and digital media. How can digital media help to reduce educational disadvantage and facilitate access to education? The publication shows that adult educators and academics around the world are successfully working on a changing culture of adult education in the digital world.
