COOL - Conditions for learning and innovation in higher education and work
The research group COOL explores conditions for learning in higher education and work. What adults need or want to learn, which opportunities that are available, and the way they learn are determined by their sociocultural context. Adults find themselves in a sociocultural context influenced by the three main forces demography, technology and globalization. Continuous changes influence learning needs throughout the life span in general and in particular the learning needs in higher education and work.
The research group addresses new approaches to learning in higher education, as well as the design of teaching practices that meet needs in workplaces. The relation between learning and innovation is also studied (i.e. knowledge sharing and employee-driven innovation (EDI) in the workplace).
