adidas Group Learning Campus: More Ideas

adidas, 24/03/014

„The idea of attending a seminar for a few days once a year does

indeed seem antiquated in

today's digital world where everything is accessible anywhere anytime.“

„The concept enhances classic training and development activities through new digital technologies.

From today onwards, learning is an integral part of our daily work.“

Agenda

Why a new Learning Campus?

What are the challenges for Corporate Learning?

“Traditional training departments cannot build courses fast enough to keep up with the speed of change. ... Person-to-person instruction is no longer cost-effective.” (Cross, July 2012)

10

Challenges for Corporate Learning

“Learning and talent development is gradually becoming less about instruction and more about interaction. We call this the ‘social shift’ in learning.” (CIPD, April 2013)

11

Challenges for Corporate Learning

“In this hyper-connected age, people learn from Wikipedia, YouTube and Google as often on-the-go as from their desks.” (Conner u.a., May 2013)

Challenges for Corporate Learning

12

“70% of what people know about their jobs, they learn informally from the people they work with.” (Jennings, 70:20:10 Forum)

Challenges for Corporate Learning

13

“So, how do knowledge workers learn?

... Autonomously: Workers like to have a high level of choice and control over what they do and learn; they are self-directed, self-organised and self-managed.” (Hart, May 2013)

How might The New Way

of Learning look like?

16 1

The New Way of Learning includes ...

a growing number of

open, accessible learning

resources on the Web

17

Example: Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs)

8.750.666 subscriptions to 720 courses since April

2012!

The acronym MOOC is pronounced with a long oo sound, to rhyme with kook

rather than book. The Oxford online dictionary

added the term (as "Mooc") in August 2013.

18

Agenda

Let‘s have a closer look at MOOCs ...

19

MOOCs: History and structure

A MOOC “is an online course aimed at unlimited participation and open access via the web.“ (Wikipedia)

The term MOOC was coined in 2008 in response to a course called Connectivism and Connective Knowledge.

MOOCs became popular when Stanford decided to launch three online courses in 2011.

The first MOOCs had a strong and deep collaborative philosophy (cMOOCs), but this philosophy has evolved to a commercial sense (xMOOCs).

Usually a MOOC runs over a number of weeks and offers short videos, readings, quizzes, discussions and assignments.

20

MOOCs: Didactics and business model

Currently MOOCs work as a catalyst for all issues around online learning, especially in higher education and corporate learning.

Experts discuss:

the didactics of MOOCs (more than eLearning?)

the motivation of learners (very high drop-out rates!),

communication between experts and learners (when numbers exceed > 100?),

the value of letters of accomplishments and certificates.

Still missing: sustainable business models

21

MOOCs: The Corporate Learning Perspective

... MOOCs as business-oriented

content: to supplement corporate learning curricula

MOOCs as marketing: to strengthen the company‘s brand and to focus on new audiences (e.g. SAP)

MOOCs as role-models for Corporate Learning: to support company-wide change initiatives and to engage employees in the sharing of experiences and ideas
