Although institutions of higher education have recognized the need
for preparing their graduates for a digitalized, global workplace,
these efforts have been sporadic, individualized, and varied from
discipline to discipline. Nevertheless, over the past 10 years,
trends such as ""double classrooms,"" ""inverted classrooms,"" and
""collaborative online international learning"" (COIL) have gained
traction at universities across the globe. With the emergence of
the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, efforts to engage students in the
use of digital tools and virtual collaborative teamwork increased
tenfold. Creative and innovative virtual learning environments
(VLEs) have emerged, and instructors have used them to connect with
their students much more frequently. The holistic nature of virtual
learning, its impact on employability, and the development of
global citizenry have become prime areas of research amongst the
digital education landscape. Now more than ever, it is essential to
look at virtual learning environments and how they can be used to
prepare students and employees for the opportunities and challenges
of a global, digital workplace. Developments in Virtual Learning
Environments and the Global Workplace provides readers with a
rationale and tool kit for facilitating virtual learning in a wide
variety of contexts in response to the opportunities and challenges
presented by the digital global workplace. This book covers virtual
learning practices, the value of virtual learning for professionals
and employers, and the best practices in online learning in
different settings. Additionally, the chapters dive into the future
perspectives and trends within virtual learning environments and
the creation/evaluation of virtual learning strategies. These
insights range from diverse countries, education levels, industry
sectors, and academic disciplines, making this book a comprehensive
research tool. This book will greatly benefit e-learning and
instructional designers, university senior managers, university
staff responsible for mobility and exchange, researchers,
professionals responsible for organizational development and
further education, human resource directors, global company
executives, managers, practitioners, stakeholders, academicians,
and students looking for information on how virtual learning
environments are preparing students for the global workplace.
