Technology-enhanced Professional Learning: Processes, Practices, and Tools

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examine the intersection of human learning processes, emergent work practices, and patterns of use of digital technology to support learning and work, and bring the disparate fields of professional learning and technology-enhanced learning together to advance theory and practice in both realms.

Abstract: Technology-Enhanced Professional Learning addresses the need for continuous workplace learning that derives from the emergence of new, specialized, and constantly changing work practices. While continuous learning is fundamental to enabling individuals to function in and productively shape contemporary workplaces, digital technology is increasingly central to productive workplace practice. By examining the intersection of human learning processes, emergent work practices, and patterns of use of digital technology to support learning and work, this edited collection brings the disparate fields of professional learning and technology-enhanced learning together to advance theory and practice in both realms.
