ABSTRACT:
The article analysed inmates' perceptions on e-learning training, in a female prison in Portugal. The course analysis and training focus is supported in the lifelong learning paradigm and its objective is to study the possibility of e-learning as a pedagogical differentiation dispositive that promotes digital inclusion. Data about the lifelong learning course, using e-learning and learning skills, were gathered by means of two questionnaires and a focus group. The analysis shows that these trainers, in a prison situation, recognize that the experience of e-learning training gave them confidence and proved to them that they still have the ability of undertaking new apprenticeships, with an impact on perspectives related to future integration into the labour market.
