Digital Transformation of Learning Organizations

Digital transformation of learning organizations uses digital technology to increase learning initiatives' efficiency, effectiveness and flexibility (Bower, 2019).This includes using various technologies such as online learning platforms, data analytics, artificial intelligence, virtual reality (Kropf, 2013) and other digital tools to update and enrich the learning experience (Conole & Brown, 2018).The book by Ifenthaler et al. (2021) titled Digital Transformation of Learning Organizations offers innovative steps that need to be implemented in the fields of technology and learning today and in the future, namely, first, the development of "augmentation strategies," which include "step in," "step forward," "step to the side," "step forward" and "narrow step."This strategy is designed to prepare job groups for the variety of production and service processes possible with intelligent machines, for productive collaboration with intelligent machines and for constantly changing competency requirements.Second, there is a need for openness and transparency in the decision-making process, especially regarding introducing new technology or changes to processes related to work and education.It is essential to provide a testing ground for new technologies, allowing employees to practice digital technologies.Third, the reorganization of knowledge management accompanied by digitalization presents significant challenges.Physical and digital spaces must be created for informal forms of knowledge transfer and dedicated times for formal knowledge transfer.Fourth, the development and application of innovative technology must be carried out to become a model for other digitalization projects.This involves detailed planning and process reflection, involving and motivating people to participate and training the team to evaluate innovative projects' ethical aspects.The target readers of this book are educators, researchers, policymakers and professionals in the fields of education and technology.This includes those involved in vocational education, media education, pedagogy, psychology and educational sciences.This book will interest anyone researching or implementing digital transformation in educational organizations.
