Summary/Abstract: The article discusses the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic framed as a disorienting dilemma on adult learning behaviour in Poland, focusing on Wikinomic openness and gender-generational differences. The research used the Computer-Assisted Web Interviewing method with 1,089 respondents, analysing their educational and developmental activities in virtual spaces. The study verifies with correspondence analysis hypotheses regarding the dependence of activity forms on gender-generational determinants and the choice of online creations. The results show significant differences in using the open space of the Internet to reorganise educational-developmental activities (transformative learning) between men and women in different age groups.
