Suggested answer:

Summary: Our group came up with three additional opportunities for lifelong learning provided by the Internet. First, we can access many online platforms and learn from user-created content and how-to videos. Video content is especially useful because online videos are usually short and very focused on a particular topic or skill. Second, we can join learning communities on the Internet, where we can share knowledge, interact with peers and build teamwork skills. Third, there are many open online courses that are freely available for people interested in expanding their knowledge and can help us meet our lifelong learning needs.
