How are older learners faring in today's digital society? Are they being excluded or left behind? The author explores this question and investigates strategies needed to assist older learners who want to continue learning into their golden years. Canada's demographics are shifting, with more seniors living longer and leading more productive lives, notably through their participation in education.

Incorporating adult education theory and practice with gerontological statistics and literature, the author considers the situations of older learners, who are faced with both barriers and opportunities. Technology should not be an obstacle to older learners; when potential opportunities arise-and with assistance from family and friends-education can help set older learners on a fulfilling path that enhances their lives.

Industry Reviews

Conrad provides an insider's view of the learning landscape of older learners and helps us understand the full lifelong learning continuum, which includes older adults' motivation to engage in learning, whether in community groups, online, or at home. Conrad challenges us to think of possibilities such as more Internet support and recognition of capacity. The literature on older learning is scant and this book fills a huge gap. -Dr. Leona English, St. Francis-Xavier University
