Adult Learning at Home: Lifelong Learning and the Information and Communications Technology Revolution, 2002

For this project, a set of research questions was developed to encompass the technologies that people use in their everyday lives, the activities they use them for, the associated skills and strategies used, and the meanings, motivations and contexts implicit in this engagement. With this in mind, the project focused on two principal areas of concern, namely in what ways access to information and communication technologies in the home, workplace and other community settings contribute to learning amongst adults, and to what extent the use of these technologies interrupt or reinforce existing patterns of participation in lifelong learning.<br> <br> The project used mixed methodology to collect data, in the form of a quantitative household survey and semi-structured face-to-face interviews with a sample of respondents who had completed the questionnaire. Users should note that only data from the household survey are currently included in the dataset.<br>
