Abstract [en]

Lifelong learning is a concept – as its name reveals – that relates to learning throughout the life of a human being. However, it is also a political concept applied to policy documents concerning societal development through strong educational systems, including higher education (Medel-Añonuevo, 2002). Therefore, it is fair to claim that higher education is seen as a tool for the society to support paths of lifelong learning by educating an increased number of diverse students. This has been a challenge for the educational system for decades, and distance educational settings are an answer to demands to make higher education accessible for more students, including adult learners. Moreover, lifelong learning has been closely linked to distance educational settings over the years. In effect, such settings have always supported lifelong adult learning.
