UIL在2022年韓國教育科技論壇上呼籲開放數位平臺促進終身學習
實現全民終身學習需要讓民眾平等地獲得高品質的科技學習和教學。這是聯合國教科文組織終身學習研究所(UIL)與聯合國教科文組織亞太區域教育局和韓國教育學術情報院 (KERIS)在2022年9月23日的韓國教育科技論壇期間,於會議上的重要訊息。該論壇由韓國教育部主辦,聚集了來自24個國家27名官員。以及來自全球各地數百名與會者到訪參加此次會議。
在「透過數位平臺進入教育的下一個階段」這個主題下,政府官員在兩場會議上聽取不同小組成員的發言。小組成員分享了他們對國家、區域和全球數位平臺如何在管理、協調,並提供從學校教育到工作場所學習和技能發展的終身學習機會,及各方面發揮關鍵作用的觀點。
UIL主任David Atchoarena在開幕詞中表明,學習者在獲得教育和學習方面需要進行重大轉變。他指出,大量學習者在追求他們的學習、需求和興趣方面獲得的數位教育資源有限。在許多情況下,手機無法接觸這些內容,可能是組織缺乏,或受限於須付費的資源。
因此,為了應對這種情況,聯合國教科文組織和聯合國兒童基金會發起了一項全球公共數位學習目標,以繪製、描述和分析現有的公共平臺,並幫助各國創建和加強其國家平臺。這有助於培養全球終身學習的文化,恢復終身學習的整體觀念,並將其作為在科技快速變化、自然災害和經濟轉型時期,賦予人民權利的重要手段。
UIL組織在會議上,分享數位平臺的創新案例,包括Udemy和印尼的Kartu Prakerja,在國家、區域和全球層面上支持學習和就業。歐洲成人學習電子平臺透過共同的網站,協調、統整全歐洲的成人學習社區網絡。UIL分享即將發布的技術報告,關於人工智能、擴展現實和區塊鍊等尖端新興技術如何運用於全球終身學習。
UIL很榮幸能再次與韓國數位教育協會,以及韓國教育部合作。

UIL urges public open digital platforms for lifelong learning at Korea EdTech Forum 2022
Delivering lifelong learning for all demands equitable public access to high-quality digital learning content and instruction. That was the key message of the sessions organized by the UNESCO Institute of Lifelong Learning (UIL), with the UNESCO Asia and Pacific Regional Bureau for Education and the Korea Education and Research Information Service (KERIS), during the EdTech Korea Forum 2022 on 23 September 2022. The Forum was hosted by the Republic of Korea’s Ministry of Education and gathered 27 high-level officials from ministries in 24 countries. Hundreds of participants also took part from across the globe.
Under the theme of “Into the Next Phase of Education through Digital Platforms”, senior government officials heard from a diverse set of panelists over two sessions. The panelists shared their perspectives on how national, regional and global digital platforms play a key role in the management, coordination and delivery of learning opportunities throughout life, from school education to workplace learning and skills development.
In his opening remarks, UIL Director David Atchoarena argued that a significant transformation in access to education and learning was needed. He noted that large numbers of learners had limited access to digital education resources to pursue their studies, needs and interests. In many instances, content was inaccessible on mobile phones, poorly organized, or was behind paywalls or in virtual spaces where learners’ data was monetized.
In response to this, he said, UNESCO and UNICEF have launched a Global Initiative on Public Digital Learning to map, describe and analyse existing public platforms and help countries to create and strengthen their national platforms. This will contribute to fostering a global culture of lifelong learning, and restore a holistic vision of learning throughout life as a critical means of empowering people in a time of rapid technological change, natural disaster and economic transformation.
UIL organized a panel session to shared innovative examples of how digital platforms, including Udemy and Kartu Prakerja from Indonesia, operated at national, regional and global level to support learning and employment. The Electronic Platform for Adult Learning in Europe was presented as a unique model of a Europe-wide network of adult learning communities coordinated through a common portal. UIL shared the findings of an upcoming report on how cutting-edge emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, extended reality and blockchain are being used in lifelong learning globally.
UIL was honored to once again partner with the Korea Digital Educational Frontier Association and the Ministry of Education of the Republic of Korea.
