Abstract :

The objective of this paper is to review some of the current perspectives about technology particularly the Internet and World Wide Web (WWW) that can provide new opportunities on learning by co-operative community. The co-operative education, which represent an important trend of the co-operative movement, should get out of the boundaries of a purely philosophical system and move towards empowering knowledge to the people involved in the co-operative movement. In general, the biggest asset of the economy and organisations is the knowledge held by its people especially at times like this where the world has undergone a transition from the Industrial Age to the Information Age to the present Knowledge Age. The fact that most co-operative members are adult has led to the discussion on adult learning issues. The paper begins by the literature of adult learners characteristics and then understanding learning through Internet and WWW. Finally we elaborate on the great potential that Internet and WWW can be used to support and expand adult learning.
