RAND Report Implies Changes for Workplace Learning Professionals - Learning Circuits
A new report from RAND Corporation finds that slower workforce growth, technological changes, and economic globalization will have powerful effects on the U.S. workplace in this century. The report, "The 21st Century at Work: Forces Shaping the Future Workforce and Workplace in the United States" was prepared at the request of the U.S. Department of Labor to provide policymakers with a look at trends that might have an impact on the nation’s workers and employers over the next several decades. A large portion of the report is dedicated to e-learning, which it refers to as technology-mediated learning. RAND describes how technology is changing the delivery of workplace education and training, “Technology has great potential to support the education and training of the workforce prior to labor market entry and as a part of lifelong learning.” The report offers a quick review of current e-learning modalities, including simulations, collaboration tools, and so forth.
