In the context of lifelong learning and learning throughout the lifespan, societal, political, social, cultural and scientific participation have become focal terms. Broad access to educationally relevant information - which is geared by technological development - constitutes an important prerequisite. Technological support measures that facilitate participation are also a prerequisite to critical thought and well reflected opinions. Participation however also relates to the idea that education - besides the reception of information - should increasingly allow for the active integration of learners into the process of knowledge acquisition/ knowledge generation.
