Future Work: Your Learning World & Addressing Skills Gap in an Evolving Environment
When: Tuesday, 27th September
Time: 11:30am - 12:30pm AEST
Cost: Free
A must-attend discussion with our expert members and long-term SiA practitioners, Paul Houghton and Larry Quick, in which we will begin to tease out the global immediate and emergent conditions within future work.
Traditional learning was built for a world that has evolved, and for conventional educational institutions to keep pace demands transformation beyond most of their means. As technology accelerates the pace of change and opportunities for learning, it is imperative that people take ownership of their learning experiences and that individuals recognise their role and take responsibility for learning in their learning world.
In the session, Larry Quick will open with the question: How much of the knowledge and learning you apply today was learned in formal education?
A learning world is populated by family, friends, community, work, school, and media. All of these are drivers of learning. They have been throughout human history.
Paul Houghton will discuss his recent Curtin University's Future of Work Institute report: Up-skilling for Future Work, responding to Skills Gaps in Invisible Work. This is the second report in the Future of Work in the Digital Age Report Series and draws on an understanding of digitalisation (the subject of this previous report discussed in the last expert session). It identifies the best way to tackle skills gaps in light of the pace and complexity of change, with a particular focus on the relatively neglected area of up-skilling within jobs, as opposed to re-skilling as people change jobs.
Paul addresses several other features of a modern learning environment (known as the adaptive learning model), including a discussion on the potential impacts of:
• Microlearning,
• Micro qualifications
• Content curation and discovery,
• Talent tracking, and
• Passports and portfolios.
This expert session will provide a platform to discuss issues like:
Our learning worlds - the importance of alternate learning for robust personal, professional and social-economic development
Addressing skills gaps - up-skilling v re-skilling
The Rapid Adaptive Practice (RAP) Model
Peer to Peer learning- creating collaborative learning environment
