Abstract
This paper establishes why lifelong learning is an economic imperative, what are the motivations and outcomes for people pursuing lifelong learning, what barriers exist to lifelong learning, what are the most effective learning styles of well-known lifelong learners such as Elon Musk, what existing solutions are available, to provide a set of recommendations for a digital lifelong learning platform which can be used by everyone. It is not sufficient to have the right digital technology platform for lifelong learning, the effectiveness of learning also depends on the individuals, whether one has growth mindset, is curious and whether they have a deliberate style of learning, are autodidacts or self-learners. Research shows everyone is a lifelong learner, as we are all learning all the time and we need to provide a platform which is affordable, easy to use and democratized to be accessible to all segments including underserved population in the world.
