Learning System Development

Abstract

Learning systems during last decades are about to transform from isolated and specific singular ego-systems [30] with closely defined and clearly measurable learning-inputs and outputs into networked environments for guidance and innovation, to develop holistic competences and to create future as social development. Connecting interdisciplinary contexts, larger amounts of very heterogeneous learners from formerly independent cultural contexts and developments, and building on technology and digitalization, they become a specific cultural space and environment of their own [36]. Traditional learning-scenarios are called into question and new cultures of learning are formed. Also, boundaries between science and organizations weaken and dissolve. This paper pursues to use the potential of combining theories of learning and change, to analyze innovative learning-approaches, to separate the contrast of incremental (sustaining) versus disruptive innovations and to use examples from the contexts of academic, vocational and organizational learning-processes.
