Abstract

In this study, applicability of a digital life logging system, which is developed for management of the lifelong learning experiences, is researched. System is designed and developed by the first author of this study and evaluated independently by the other three authors by using activity research approach. Because of the fact that, life logging applications produce log entries, which belong to every awake hour of the individual’s daily life, they may contain private visual information, so direct observation of the application by the others may cause ethical problems. In order to overcome this restriction, each of the three researchers applied the system unbiasedly and independently from each other, then control the application on their own and at the end of this period, they collected information that belongs to the application via self-observation. Later on, the collected data is analyzed and evaluated by all of the authors via a joint study.  It is observed that the life logging system, which has been used by them, helped practitioners to gain skills which are required to plan, evaluate and control the lifelong learning activities and it is adequate enough to apply all these skills.

Key words: Life logging; lifelong learning; recording of lifelong learning experiences; management of lifelong learning experiences.
