These two references are specific to e-learning and online learning I hope that they are helpful.

Dear Behiye Candan Büge,

In my research I read an article about your topic. In my opinion it is very interesting.

Marjan Laal (2011) Impact of Technology on lifelong learning,Procedia - Social and Behavioral Sciences 28 (2011) 439 – 443.

Please find attached article as a PDF file.

I hope I have been some of help.

Best regards,

Andrija

Dear Behiye Candan Büge,

This question is quite open and it will give you a huge number of references. Can you refine it? What technologies are you thinking of? By lifelong learning are you thinking of formal or informal learning? Adult learning? Senior learning?

Regards,

Carlos

Your question is broad - but I like it! Think about synchronous vs asynchronous delivery training, and whether you are considering academic or workplace training environments. MOOCs have radically changed the changing environment, too.  You might want to look at the Association for Training Development (ATD) publications, especially by Ruth Colvin Clark. She challenges the tried and true!

Best wishes

Mary

Thank you all  for your contribution! It's a broad topic, indeed.. The suggestions very helpful,  regards...

In my work, I  highlight learning, especially lifelong learning, as an individualised process. In fact, most of our learning is implicit. That means we don't have to attend an institute to engage in lifelong learning,  It is about how well we are prepared to pay attention and be conscious to our experiences. Further, in this computer age, accessing information/knowledge is made much easier electronically and instantaneously. As a result, ICT helps learners to engage on a path of lifelong learning.  

I have been involved in the development of a research validated tool to assess a learner's lifelong learning skills otherwise known as 'learning power'.  A research article that describes this widely-used tool is attached below.
