Building a Road Map for the 'Lost Highway' of Adult Learning:
The Legacy of the Adult Learning Knowledge Centre

Building a Road Map for the 'Lost Highway' of Adult Learning: The Legacy of the Adult Learning Knowledge Centre

In Canada, the state of adult learning is a complex and intricate system; a broad spectrum of opportunities ranging from formal to informal activities where the path for lifelong learners is not always obvious. The Adult Learning Knowledge Centre (AdLKC) spent four years documenting and testing this system with the goal to finding pathways for Canadians to reaching their full potential.

To fulfill that goal, AdLKC pursued knowledge and community links in four key areas of interest: literacy, seniors' learning, arts and culture and prior learning assessment and recognition (PLAR). Further areas of interest included Aboriginal learning and late-entry to post-secondary education.

Resources

The legacy report was developed for the purposes of:
  • Providing an inventory of AdLKC's work,
  • Documenting this work and AdLKC's history,
  • Sharing the learning experiences, and
  • Ensuring future accessibility to AdLKC's work.

Within this document, all AdLKC programs and activities are listed and described. They include a knowledge exchange program, speakers program, human rights poster competition, roundtables, community outreach initiatives, research reports, adult learning videos and symposia.
