8. LLL definition Lifelong learning is the continued education and training of people throughout their adult lives. It encompasses all academic levels and all forms of learning, whether formal, non-formal, or informal. Our interest is in the continuing education and training of people at higher education level through structured (formal, non-formal or informal) courses or activities offered by Institutions of Higher Education.

9. Obstacles Government lack of investment/recognition Inadequate offer from HEI Uncertified commercial offer Wide competition between private providers Absence of ICT competencies from HEI Lack of recognition of e-learning Inadequate infrastructure to support large number of distance education students Fight for resources

10. The LLL student All students can be considered LLL students (since they are all adults in higher education, according to the working definition). However, some demographics are shared by the partners: most of their LLL students are over the age of 25 the average age ranges from 30 to 38 years old more than 60% are enrolled in traditional undergraduate and graduate degrees more than 50% are employed professionals
