Dear ALADIN community,

In this ALADIN Online Alert, I would like to highlight documents discussing the implications of the COVID-19 pandemic on learning:

• two IRE articles, one on adult learning and education as a tool to contain pandemics and one on the impact of lockdown on the learning gap: family and school divisions in times of crisis;

• a UIL report on learning from cities’ responses to COVID-19;

• the results of an ETF mapping exercise on COVID-19; and

• a Cedefop briefing note on online working and learning in the coronavirus era.

I wish you enjoyable reading,
Lisa Krolak, ALADIN coordinator
