Today the UK's Higher Education Academy has published in its EvidenceNet series a new report entitled, 'Flexible learning and its contribution to widening participation: a synthesis of research' written by Muir Houston (PASCAL Affiliate), Velda McCune and Mike Osborne (PASCAL Co-director), all of the University of Glasgow.

The papers from the May 2010 UNESCO Shanghai International Forum on Lifelong Learning are now available and can be downloaded from a UNESCO site. The Forum was convened by the UNESCO Institute for Lifelong Learning at the time of the Shanghai World Expo 2010 in association with a number of Chinese organisations including the Chinese Society of Educational Development Strategy and the Chinese National Commission for UNESCO.
