    Aprendizaje invisible: Hacia una nueva ecología de la educación
    (Laboratori de Mitjans Interactius / Publicacions i Edicions de la Universitat de Barcelona, 2011-04-15) Cobo, Cristóbal; Moravec, John W.
    The proposed invisible learning concept is the result of several years of research and work to integrate diverse perspectives on a new paradigm of learning and human capital development that is especially relevant in the context of the 21st century. This view takes into account the impact of technological advances and changes in formal, non-formal, and informal education, in addition to the 'fuzzy' metaspaces in between. Within this approach, we explore a panorama of options for future development of education that is relevant today. Invisible Learning does not propose a theory, but rather establishes a metatheory capable of integrating different ideas and perspectives. This has been described as a protoparadigm, which is still in the 'beta' stage of construction.

    Knowmad Society
    (2013-06-11) Moravec, John W.; Cobo, Cristóbal; Besselink, Thieu; Hartkamp, Christel; Spinder, Pieter; de Bree, Edwin; Stokman, Bianca; Renaud, Christine; van den Hoff, Ronald
    Knowmad Society explores the future of learning, work, and how we relate with each other in a world driven by accelerating change, value networks, and the rise of knowmads. Knowmads are nomadic knowledge workers: Creative, imaginative, and innovative people who can work with almost anybody, anytime, and anywhere. The jobs associated with 21st century knowledge and innovation workers have become much less specific concerning task and place, but require more value-generative applications of what they know. The office as we know it is gone. Schools and other learning spaces will follow next. In this book, nine authors from three continents, ranging from academics to business leaders, share their visions for the future of learning and work. Educational and organizational implications are uncovered, experiences are shared, and the contributors explore what it’s going to take for individuals, organizations, and nations to succeed in Knowmad Society.

    Preparing Our Librarians for the Future: Identifying and Assessing Core Competencies at the University of Minnesota Libraries
    (Association of College and Research Libraries, 2010) Crowe, Stephanie H.; Jaguszewski, Janice M.
    In 2007, the University of Minnesota Libraries developed and administered a self-assessment tool to all liaison librarians and archivists. The purpose of the assessment was to document the liaisons' current knowledge, skills and abilities (KSAs) and map them against the KSAs that are expected to be needed in the future. The gaps were then analyzed to identify professional development opportunities for current staff as well as traits to seek when considering future hires.
