| Description: | The Impact of Distance Education on Adult Learning (IDEAL) has been studied in a joint project between the International Council for Open and Distance Education (ICDE), the UNESCO Institute for Lifelong Learning (UIL) and Study Portals (SP). The project examined the interrelations of adult learning, higher education and distance education while analysing if and how higher education institutions contributed to adult learning by means of distance education.
This final report will present a meta analysis[…] in an attempt to answer the central research question:“how can the distance education programmes offered by European higher education institutions be better matched to the needs of adult learners?”
