Abstract	To meet the government's objectives of high quality adult learning opportunities for all Albertans, the Minister of Advanced Education began a review of the system in 2005. This is one of several discussion documents prepared for feedback from stakeholders. Advanced education is recognized as a key component in ensuring rural communities are vibrant and sustainable and have the capacity to succeed in a knowledge economy. This discussion document provides an overview to understand what comprises the current learning system in rural Alberta and some of the key challenges faced by rural learners and post-secondary providers. Issues of geography, social and economic circumstances, as well as demographic patterns contribute to lower levels of rural participation and attainment at almost all levels of the system. The paper also considers the potential impacts of new opportunities available through emerging technology and alternative models of program delivery. (Author).
