Lifelong learning in Europe (LLinE) is published four times a year by the KVS (Kansanvalistusseura) Foundation in cooperation with the Finnish Adult Education Research Society. This issue of LLinE focuses on different ways in which learning and the learning society can be interpreted. An uneasy relationship exists between workplace learning and other learning forms, with organisations recognising the importance of learning, but still trying to limit or control their employees learning to include only what is relevant to their work. This is seeing learning identified only as it relates to education, training and qualifications, when in fact a great deal of learning is incidental and occurs beyond our working lives. The articles in this issue include: The school debate: a prisoner of the rhetoric / an interview with Tomas Englund (p. 4-7); From infojunk to knowledge productivity / Jussi T. Koski (p. 8-13); Three ways to learn in a new balance / Robert-Jan Simons (p. 14-23); The doctor as a counsellor and as a learner: learning processes at a hospital ward / Karen Faurfelt and Gitte Wichmann-Hansen (p. 24-33); Neuroscientific psychology and mental contents / Pertti Saariluoma (p. 34-39); New technology and pedagogical challenges: the Open University UK / Mary Thorpe (p. 40-46); The quality of learning and how to assess it / George Brown (p. 47-54); Communicative evaluation: evaluation at the crossroad / Stephen Kemmis and Hannele Niemi.
