The joy factor of learning came into the focus of educationalists due to the progressive educational movement and then the concept of Lifelong Learning highlighted the importance of attracting and retaining adults in education. However, it is not treated alike by the different stakeholders. As the results of the survey of BME suggest learners see the joy of learning through different lenses depending on a number of traits and learning related conditions. While the survey also suggest that digital learning environments tend to be more suitable for joyful learning our students still find the joyful elements of mainstream learning environments. These findings point to an increasing utilization of the 'good' parameters of both the 'old' and the 'new' learning environments. To make joy more embedded in different learning environments still much has to be done by the stakeholders in their relevant fields.
