What is Dimensions of Learning

The concept of sustainability has reached numerous areas of our culture today. Learning, however, has been described as lifelong or continuous but not sustainable. This chapter investigates the ideas of sustainability and a continuum model of learning that expands both the length and the breadth of the current system. It describes the importance of a learning culture and the influence of technology in implementing this new paradigm. It then suggests that a new paradigm of sustainable learning is a more appropriate description for learning in the twenty-first century.
