The ever evolving, technology-intensive nature of the twenty-first
century workplace has caused an acceleration in the division of
labour, whereby work practices are becoming highly specialised and
learning and the communication of knowledge is in a constant state
of flux. This poses a challenge for education and learning: as
knowledge and expertise increasingly evolve, how can individuals be
prepared through education to participate in specific industries
and organisations, both as newcomers and throughout their careers?
Learning Across Sites brings together a diverse range of
contributions from leading international researchers to examine the
impacts and roles which evolving digital technologies have on our
navigation of education and professional work environments. Viewing
learning as a socially organised activity, the contributors explore
the evolution of learning technologies and knowledge acquisition in
networked societies through empirical research in a range of
industries and workplaces. The areas of study include public
administration, engineering, production, and healthcare and the
contributions address the following questions: How are learning
activities organised? How are tools and infrastructures used? What
competences are needed to participate in specialised activities?
What counts as knowledge in multiple and diverse settings? Where
can parallels be drawn between workplaces? Addressing an emerging
problem of adaptation in contemporary education, this book is
essential reading for all those undertaking postgraduate study and
research in the fields of educational psychology, informatics and
applied information technology.
