Digital learning in organisations

Bless me blogger - for I have sinned. It's been more than a month since my last post on this blog. That's unusual. But there's a very good reason for neglecting this for a while.

I have been busy writing a new book, and the last month has involved a lot of research and writing, completing, editing and polishing of my manuscript for final submission later this month. It's a book I was commissioned to write for Kogan Page, and will be aimed at the learning and development (L and D) sector. It's quite a departure for me, because my last 5 books have focused on learning and technology for schools, colleges and universities. It was about time I tackled another sector of learning and I have become very familiar with leaning and development in organisations over the last decade.

Although this book is focused on digital technology and future developments for learning in the corporate sector, I believe it still has many facets that educators in all sectors will find interesting, challenging and informative.

The title of the book is 'Digital Learning in Organisations', and is already being marketed on Amazon and other online outlets. It will contain 11 chapters (12 if you count the extended introduction I have written). With titles such as 'Hyperconnected Communities of Practice', 'Connection and Disruption' and 'Knowledge Networks', I hope you can see where I'm taking the book. There are chapters on game based learning and digital readiness (literacies), as well as a closing chapter entitled 'How We Shape Our Futures', which focuses on the future of learning, new and emerging technologies, risk factors, societal challenges, cyborg cultures, Artificial Intelligence, humanisation of technology and other futurist perspectives.

Digital Learning in Organisations will be published by Kogan Page in both paperback and ebook formats in April 2019.
