Learning is within the distance of a click, for those digitally savvy enough. Although, to actually retain knowledge there is still the need to acquire digital skills, soft skills, have digital literacy in order to perform effective research, select information, reflect, collaborate, produce, learn and share knowledge. This article aims to ascertain if, and how, those having these competences with access to digital and virtual tools will be better prepared and motivated for lifelong learning.
