Term Life-Wide Learning
Definition

Life-Wide Learning is Learning that occurs across different settings and roles in a person's life, not only across chronological stages.

Context & Usage

Life-Wide Learning helps distinguish learning in work, family, community, civic, digital, and educational environments from lifelong learning as a time-span concept. In U.S. contexts, compare the term with local adult education, workforce, and credential language before treating it as identical.
