Perspektive celoživotnog učenja u digitalnom okruženju

As much as learning changes under the influence of new technologies, learning itself changes the digital environment in which it takes place, making it adapt to our needs. The paper analyses different perspectives and options that digital environment provides for lifelong learning. Digital platforms, resources, and tools enable flexibility, availability, and personalisation of learning, contributing to personal development and professional adaptability of individuals. On the other hand, the paper looks at the challenges, such as digital (il)literacy, the use of digital technologies, and the creation of the environment for digital lifelong learning. The theoretical part of the paper investigates the theory of connectivism in adult learning and collaborative learning, with an emphasis on the necessity of a hollistic approach which integrates technical, pedagogical, and social dimensions of learning in digital environment. Based on the theoretical analysis, the authors offer recommendations for future conceptualizations of education in digital environment, with an emphasis on the development of interactive virtual learning environments based on the principles of the pedagogy of social knowledge and collaborative intelligence, as well as on the creation of space for learning through the process of dialogue, and overcoming the dichotomy between traditional and digital learning environment. Our conclusion is that digital environment, despite the challenges, represents the key platform for the empowerment of individuals and the community in the context of global changes and social progress.
