Workplace learning has undergone a significant transformation in recent decades, driven by accelerating technological innovation, globalisation, and shifting organisational expectations. The emergence of digital technologies offers new opportunities to enhance learning and development in organisations, empowering workers. Yet, alongside these opportunities lie challenges, such as ensuring equitable access to digital resources, addressing ethical dilemmas, and mitigating the risk that technological advancements might inadvertently exacerbate existing inequalities or create new forms of exclusion.
This anthology examines learning at work through the lens of human-centred technology and innovation, drawing on the concepts of inclusive use and Boyadijeva’s socially embedded capability to focus on empowerment across diverse contexts of adult learning, including the workplace.
The Research Network on Workplace Learning (RN2) of the Asia-Europe Education and Research Hub for Lifelong Learning (ASEMLLL) focuses on learning in, for and through workplaces across Asia and Europe. Workplaces exist not simply in companies and public services, but equally across a wide range of organisational and social contexts, including in non-profit-making NGOs, Universities and Colleges, and in diverse forms of self-employment. The network was established in 2005, and since then, its membership has expanded to 25 countries. Our network consists of members representing countries in Asia and Europe (and beyond). Members are now active in Austria, Australia, Brunei, Canada, China, Cuba, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Hungary, Georgia, India, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Latvia, Lithuania, Laos, Malaysia, Romania, Singapore, South Korea, Thailand, United Kingdom. The work of the Research Network has centred on a series of collaborative projects, leading to the publication of a series of five anthologies, including the present volume, which represent staging posts in our shared work and network development.
