This report (224 page PDF) "investigates current approaches to promoting lifelong learning, with a particular emphasis on policies and measures supporting adults with low levels of skills and qualifications to access learning opportunities." What I like is that it looks at adult education broadly, and not merely from the perspective of those who are already students. This is significant, because as the report says, "low-qualified adults participate less in education and training than those with higher levels of educational attainment." This was big news when the subject was MOOCs, but it's a trend in education generally, and should be a priority for online educators.
I found this article in the Canadian Society for the Study of Education (CSSE) news feed. It took a bit to find; here's the feed home page, and I had to view source to find the RSS feed. I've subscribed and am now the feed's sole subscriber on Feedly.
