Informal Adult Education in the time of COVID

The COVID-19 pandemic caused a global shutdown where different sectors in different countries were closed down in waves to mitigate the spread of the disease. During this time, work and education moved to a virtual format. Adults with access to technology could continue to participate in educational opportunities. Those without access to technology fell farther behind in the digital divide. A scoping literature review was undertaken to answer the research question: How did adult learners engage in informal learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. This dataset is the extraction table for the scoping review.新型冠状病毒肺炎（COVID-19）疫情引发全球停摆，不同国家的各行业分批关停以减缓病毒传播。在此期间，工作与教育均转向虚拟在线模式。拥有技术接入条件的成年人可继续参与教育活动，而缺乏技术资源的群体则在数字鸿沟（digital divide）中被进一步拉大差距。本研究开展了一项范围综述（scoping literature review），旨在解答研究问题：新冠疫情期间成年学习者如何开展非正式学习？本数据集即为该范围综述的文献提取表格。
