The NPLT provides support for projects that contribute to a better understanding of learning technologies, in particular, their use and adaptation for adult learners at home, at work and in their communities. Of equal importance, NPLT also aims to assist in closing the digital divide by giving priority to projects that address the learning needs of low-income Canadians, seniors, Aboriginal people, people with disabilities and Canadians with low literacy levels. The overarching goal of the NPLT is to maintain Canada's quality of life standards and to help keep the Canadian industry competitive in an increasingly challenging global market.
