Product Description

Synopsis

Global socio-economic changes are transforming workplaces. Organisations require employees skilled in strategic problem-solving; learning quickly in response to rapidly changing environment; working in distributed, culturally-diverse teams; building knowledge from different sources and applying it in a flexible way. The new workplace demands are in sharp contrast with the traditional ways of learning and teaching. The assumption that these highly complex skills can be learned in traditional formal learning settings focused on transferring content from experts to novices is no longer tenable. It is equally untenable that the knowledge and skills for effective performance in the workplace can be picked up from experienced peers or coaches in informal learning settings alone. New learning approaches enabling integration of the worlds of learning and work are needed. This book describes a new model for technology-enhanced work-based learning.The model aims to support managers, instructors and learning designers in organisations in devising strategy and curriculum for learning; in developing course design, evaluation and assessment processes; and in capturing and sharing good practice in learning within organisation.

The model was implemented at Shell EP Netherlands. The book is addressed to researchers and practitioners in work-related and technology-enhanced learning.

4.0 out of 5 stars reference model, 22 Aug 2008
By Winnips (Glasgow) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I have been using Work Based learning for a programme to redesign courses into a blended learning format, and found this book, and especially the reference model that is presented very useful. The guidelines for implementing the reference model in courses are a quite comprehensive overview of 'what to think about' when you want to integrate learning and work, and how to apply this to a blended learning course format.

5.0 out of 5 stars Review of Work Based Learning (Anoush Margaryan), 22 Jul 2008
Work Based Learning by Dr Anoush Margaryan is a `must-read' for all those engaged in the development, implementation and review of learning in the workplace. I would wholeheartly recommend this book, having used it to inform and guide my current research extending novel approaches to technology enhanced, work based learning with Shell.

Extending beyond current paradigms, the book concisely outlines the difficulties faced by organisations who are trying to support employees in working effectively within rapidly changing work environments. Technology supported learning is a central theme, viewed as an integral aspect of contemporary work based learning embedded within the theories and practice examples within the text. Chapter 2 offers a chronological review of a range of learning theories in an easy to understand way, proposing a holistic mechanism for the identification of major issues in work based learning through Activity Theory.

A major strength of the book is the `reference model' - a systematic framework outlining important components within effective work based learning outlined in Chapters 3 to 5. The author succinctly outlines key components of the model and their application in real-life situations within her own work as a learning professional within a large, multinational corporation (Shell Exploration and Production). This reference model will be of interest to those interested in theoretical aspects of work based learning as well as those seeking practical advice as to its applications, since it can be used to ensure consistent development and implementation of novel approaches.

Chapter 6 extends beyond the development and implementation of technology enhanced approaches to work based learning, to consideration of the difficult question of how to disseminate good practice and implement new approaches in different contexts. This is termed in the book as `practices worth replicating'.

While the text could be criticised for its focus on knowledge work within a single multinational organisation, the case studies and examples are sufficiently grounded in theory to be generalisable to a wide range of work based learning situations.

The appendices include a range of useful tools, such as a `course scan' instrument for evaluating WRL implementation that can easily be adopted by course developers or evaluators.

Overall Work Based Learning: a blend of pedagogy and technology is a useful handbook for learning professionals (managers, directors of learning, developers, researchers) who are struggling with the difficulties of implementing effective forms of work based learning.
