Book synopsis

Business in the Knowledge Society needs§managers and employees who are autonomous lifelong§learners,flexible and adaptable. To enable§this, education in the 21st Century requires that§students become active and independent learners. A§key problem is how is this transition, from the§relatively passive learner model that the majority of§educators and students most readily recognize, to §that of active learner, to be achieved? This book§describes a method of enabling this transition by§involving learners in a participatory design process§that transforms their ability to understand their own§learning - and that of others. The§methodology, allied with the design and development§of a personalized online environment, provides the§framework, the processes and the set of outcomes that§allow the student or trainee to develop into an§independent and autonomous lifelong learner. The book§should be of great interest to managers, educators§and students alike. The emergence of social§networking has made the approach even more valuable§as the opportunities for sharing learning resources,§matching learner types and creating effective teams§have continued to increase.
