Who Wants to Learn Forever

The book introduces a comprehensive discussion about the evolution of education, particularly examining the relationship between traditional and online learning methods. Rather than positioning these approaches as competitors, the author suggests they serve different purposes and can work complementarily, with each offering unique advantages depending on the specific context and learning objectives. The author presents a book that delves into crucial questions about education’ s future, with continuous learning at its core as a response to ongoing societal and technological transformations. The book explores several critical themes, including the interplay between traditional and online education, the emerging skills needed for the future, the significant influence of Generation Z on educational practices, technology’ s role, and the establishment of a continuous learning culture. The work is organized into six main chapters, complemented by four detailed focus areas, which examine the major changes affecting higher education and their implications for the future.

Leonardo Caporarello is the Associate Dean for Online Learning, and Professor of Practice of Leadership and Negotiation at SDA Bocconi School of Management, and Rector’ s Delegate for Digital Learning at Bocconi University.
