Abstract

The field of lifelong learning has experienced significant changes with the rapid development of information technology. This paper synthesizes the role and impact of information technology in lifelong learning and explores its far-reaching effects on learning styles, learning resources, motivation and engagement. Information technology not only serves as a tool for knowledge acquisition, improving the efficiency of information retrieval, but also as a builder of learning environments, providing immersive and interactive learning experiences. In addition, it serves as a platform for learner interaction, facilitating communication and collaboration on a global scale. This paper analyzes how information technology enriches learning resources, increases motivation, and enhances learner engagement. Through these analyses, this paper aims to provide insights for educators, policy makers and lifelong learners to better utilize IT for continuous learning and personal development.
