If a few decades ago, the education received in school could be in most of the cases
enough to go with for the rest of one’s entire life, today the situation has changed
dramatically. The individual has to be prepared for a new type of life and training,
namely lifelong learning. The individual’s survival in society could depend on his
capacity to learn, to re-qualify, to forget what he once learned and to train for the
future in an entirely different manner. Within this context, e-learning and distance
education can be viable alternatives for the necessary and imperative adaptation
process. Modern man’s education has to go beyond the stage of level oriented
education (limited in terms of trainee number and training duration) and advance
towards continuous education, which is able to train the individual irrespective of his
location and with no limitations in terms of time. The passage towards the information
society involves mutations in the object of the activities, mainly in terms of selecting,
storing, preserving, managing and protecting information.
Against this extremely fluctuant background, a relevant question rises: is the adult
capable of coping, both individually and socially, with the challenge of e-learning?
