Reimagining digital learning for sustainable development : how upskilling, data analytics, and educational technologies close the skills gap

"Reimagining Digital Learning for Sustainable Development is a comprehensive playbook for the design and implementation of continuous learning among individuals and institutions aspiring to achieve the United Nations' ambitious Sustainable Development Goals by 2030. Currently, nearly every aspect of human activity, including the ways we absorb and apply learning, is influenced by disruptive digital technologies. The jobs available today are no longer predicators of future employment, and current and future workforce members will need to augment their competencies through a lifetime of continuous upskilling and reskilling to meet the demands of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. This book explores major shifts in content formats, pedagogic approaches, technology frameworks, user and design experiences, and learner roles and expectations that will reshape our institutions, particularly in emerging economies. The agile, lean, and cost-effective strategies proposed here will function in scalable and flexible bandwidth environments to enable education leaders and practitioners to transform brick-and-mortar learning organizations into digital and blended ecosystems."
