		Lifelong learning (along with ideas such as 'the learning society' have become popular with politicians and policymakers in a number of countries.
		If learning involves all of one's life, in the sense of both time-span and diversity, and all of society, including its social and economic as well as its educational resources, then we must go even further than the necessary overhaul of 'educational systems' until we reach the stage of a learning society.
		Topics covered include: expectations about learning at work into the twenty-first century; learning theories, practice and performance implications; the relationship between workplace learning and other forms of lifelong learning; the international developments in competency-based approaches to learning and assessment; the influence of language, power, culture and gender upon the 'construction' of learning.

	Introduction
		Lifelong learning has been placed firmly on the agenda for higher education in the UK by the publication of the Dearing Committee's Report[9], which appeared under the title "Higher Education in the Learning Society".
		For Chambers', to learn is "to gain knowledge, skill or ability"[23] while for the OED it is "a process which leads to the modification of behaviour or the acquisition of new abilities or responses, and which is additional to natural development by growth or maturation".
		Lifelong learning is the enabler which will help create an inclusive society in which every citizen is valued, in which every citizen can participate fully and in which every citizen can achieve his or her full potential.

	Creating Learning Communities
		But, as parents are increasingly recognizing that personal liberty and private protection from control by majority rule applies to their children's learning, none of the existing systems have completely incorporated that concept.
		Instead of organizing learning by subjects, they organized it around themes of significance to their students." There seemed to be an inverse relationship between success in college and formalized education as opposed to student selected learning.

	An Infrastructure for Collaborative Lifelong Learning (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Nevertheless, in the context of infrastructures for lifelong learning little attention is paid to collaboration.
		In order to support the variety of collaboration modes and learning methods in lifelong learning scenarios, existing approaches to learning infrastructures must be extended in a number of directions, e.g., with respect to user management, collaboration management, communication/ collaboration functionality, support for (transitions between) different learning modes, and awareness of peer learners.
		We introduce our approach to an infrastructure for collaborative lifelong learning, which is based on integrated collaboration functionality, transitions between different learning modes, and a scalable standards-based architecture.
