Sustainable Pedagogy in E-Learning: Preparing Lifelong Learners for the Disruption Era

Abstract

This inquiry presents a futuristic model of sustainable e-learning pedagogy that integrates innovation, inclusivity, and collaboration to empower lifelong learners, enhance global mobility, and build resilient learning ecosystems in the disruption era. This inquiry examines how sustainable e-learning pedagogy can prepare lifelong learners to navigate the disruption era, marked by technological acceleration, globalization, and uncertainty. It emphasizes the balance between innovation, inclusivity, and long-term educational resilience. This study utilizes a qualitative systematic literature review to synthesize global practices and theoretical comprehensions from Constructivism, Connectivism, and Self-Determination Theory. It analyzes the role of emerging tools: AI-driven Personalization, Extended Reality, Blockchain Credentialing, and Mobile Learning Ecosystems in fostering inclusive and future-ready pedagogy. The study identifies three key pillars of sustainable e-learning pedagogy: Resilient Pedagogy (enabling adaptability and agility in the era of disruption), Collaborative Intelligence (integrating human creativity with AI to enhance global research and knowledge exchange), and Sustainable Inclusivity (ensuring equitable access through universal design and adaptive learning pathways). Synchronously, they support lifelong learners while advancing global mobility in education and research. The results propose a futuristic pedagogical model that harmonizes sustainability, inclusivity, and innovation. By reframing e-learning both as a catalyst for lifelong learning and a driver of global collaboration, it contributes to building resilient, future-ready learning ecosystems.
