Postdigital lifelong learning

• Postdigital lifelong learning is impacted by and concerns the intertwining of analog and digital, biology and physics, human and nonhuman, individual and collective, private and public aspects of learning throughout human life. It is a complex phenomenon that intersects individual and societal issues. Since the twentieth century, this intersection has been a site of struggle between at least two discourses. The democratic and humanistic capability discourse emphasises lifelong learning as the development of agency, emancipation, enlightenment, equity, and freedom. The economic and neoliberal discourse focuses on developing human capital and employability. Postdigital lifelong learning combines these two discourses and dissolves the boundaries between the individual and the collective by developing capabilities and enabling employment.
