Panels and Debates
“Grasping” Learning Ecosystems
Date Thursday, Dec 2 Time – Room Tiergarten
As the world has undergone tremendous change throughout the last two years it became evident that traditional concepts of organising learning and development have reached their limits. An emerging concept for organising learning and development are “Learning Ecosystems”.
This panel session introduces a conceptual model as a frame of reference for understanding what is meant by “learning ecosystems”, what learning ecosystems are not, and which dimensions need to be considered in the implementation process. Following this introduction, the session shared best practices from different L&D practitioners.
