In recent years, the transmission paradigm of learning and teaching is making way for new approaches fuelled in part by the technology and AI revolutions. Learning is seen now more often in the light of connectivism, collaboration and creative problem solving. Dialogic Feedback for High Impact Learning explores this fascinating trend championing learning as a dialogic process between learners and coaches where learning is connecting networks and resources and leads to creative problem solving. It addresses the need for feedback as a dialogue in training for tomorrow, what it entails and how you can best deal with it.

The book explores the power of feedback in a high-impact learning setting, where all parties strive for a learning and feedback culture rather than a consumption and testing culture. The authors discuss the feedback process, feedback seeking behaviour and the quality of the feedback message, sharing tips for software and apps to support this process and how teachers and coaches from a variety of settings have integrated the feedback dialogue into their training.

This book is intended for everyone who wants to contribute to the learning culture of tomorrow, including learning coaches, managers, education and training professionals, and teachers and trainees at all levels in education.

Informal Learning at Work reflects the growing interest in changing the way the workplace encourages and enhances learning and professional development. Due to societal, economic, and technological developments, organisations face the pressure of growing knowledge-intensity and the need for innovations. As a result, employees are expected to adapt to new situations and constantly update their skillsets within an increasingly challenging environment. This book brings together cross-disciplinary perspectives from leading international researchers, drawing on a range of theoretical and empirical studies.

Extensively researched and expertly edited, this new addition to the EARLI New Perspectives on Learning and Instruction series outlines the starting points for future research, and highlights the benefits and implications for those aiming to foster informal learning at work, covering areas such as:

Informal Learning at Work presents original quantitative and qualitative studies as well as integrative analyses of worldwide research and is an invaluable introduction to this highly topical subject.

Organisations today operate in a fascinating world where change is constant, fast and continues to accelerate. It is the combination of evolving developments such as technological advancements, globalisation and new ways of communicating through multimedia technologies that drive us to reorganise how we live, how we work, how we create value, and how we learn. These developments call for a Learning & Development policy and practice that supports professionals to be or become successful in this fascinating changing world. In other words: one of the core goals of Learning & Development is to support sustainable employability.

Creating Impact through Future Learning introduces a model for High Impact Learning that Lasts (HILL) that is very much in synch with the demands of an agile organisation. The HILL model is about the learning of young adults, professionals, and experts. It is about the many possibilities to inspire and to support adults in their continuous learning and development process, aiming to create value for today’s and tomorrow’s society. It is about how designers of learning programmes – be it L&D officers or teachers in vocational and higher education preparing adults for professional life – can take a step forward to build the future of learning. A new mindset is needed to create a real impact.
