Conclusions

• Strong belief that e-learning has a positive
  impact in increasing tolerance and acceptance for
  groups at risk of social exclusion.
• Individual autonomy and freedom in learning is
  viewed as the main advantage of e-learning in
  terms of enhancing personal development. This is
  particularly marked among training programme
  designers and materials developers whereas
  students seem less enthusiastic.
• Social exclusion through digital divide is judged
  as the main drawback of e-learning in terms of
  enhancing personal development.
• Most respondents agree that e-learning helps in
  reconciling work and family life, especially for
  women and people aged up to 40.

32
Conclusions

• E-learning is considered as having a significant
  impact on Lifelong Learning.
• The majority view is that e-learning can
  contribute to a more active form of citizenship
  (especially among older women).
• Around half of the respondents consider that ICT
  can significantly reduce the distance between
  citizens and their government (the share is
  higher among the youngest age group).
• Browsing the web for learning purposes appears to
  be the experience which most contributed to the
  personal development of the respondents.
