Scotland Lifelong Learning

Why use the Web for Lifelong Learning? To some of us, located in rural areas of Scotland, the question seems comparable to "Why breathe?" To others, the World Wide Web seems like a daunting and unnecessary distraction in their daily life. The Web however is changing the way that the entire world exchanges information. What used to take days to study and research, including travel time and costs, library time, note-taking, and so on, can now take a matter of hours, thanks to the Web.

Once you have gained access to the Internet, and acquired the most basic of Information and Communication Technology skills, you can use the Web for information retrieval, for communication with family and friends or for furthering your career or hobby aspirations, or even start your own Tour Company.

The great benefit of Online learning is that it is accessible whenever and wherever it is convenient for you. Just by logging into your personal, or library, computer. Online learning is the perfect solution for many people throughout Scotland who wish to continue with a programme of Lifelong Learning.

The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People : Powerful Lessons in Personal Change According to Steven R. Covey, to live with security and wisdom, and to have the power to take advantages of the opportunities that change creates, we need fairness, integrity, honesty and human dignity. Quite a tall order when you consider that most of us live our lives in a permanent state of flux, questioning our ideals and values and fighting a daily battle with the lack of self-confidence that stops us from taking risks of any kind. But, in The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, Covey manages to make it sound as if changing the way we look at ourselves and the world around us so that we can become more successful both personally and professionally an absolute doddle. He defines the "habits" as "the intersection of knowledge, skill and desire" and states that the "Seven Habits" of the title are not mutually exclusive, but rather when developed together help to form a well-rounded, sensitive, confident and effective human being.
