Supporting Learners and Societal Needs through Evolution of Innovative Digital Learning Architectures

Abstract

This paper addresses theoretically the challenge of establishment of a networked learning architecture appropriate for the sustained design of both continuing and professional education. Bringing in theoretical concepts, together with affordances of digital technologies, and using an action research meta-methodology of critical research, the paper attempts to elucidate make transparent the type of considerations and discussions needed as a prerequisite for forming a general concept/model for pedagogic design for professional and continuing education. The study finalizes with a suggestion for a conceptual model for producing innovative learning processes within professional and continuing education.
