This article reports on a six week course in Web Content Development presented by the Univer sity of Pretoria's Department of Information Science. The course was presented in a hybrid model consisting of six Saturday morning work shops, supported by an electronic mailing list and a website. Adult learning needs are dis cussed together with the way the course was designed to accommodate them. The positive and negative reflective comments made by learners at the conclusion of the course are considered. The relationship between the com ments and adult learning needs is discussed. The article concludes with a list of lessons learnt. An important lesson is that value is the single adult learning need that generates most positive and negative comments.

Entrepreneurship scholars have focused their research on compiling a list of competencies that enhance entrepreneurial behaviour. Yet, these efforts might be redundant as new competencies are necessary in the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR). Furthermore, previous research investigated entrepreneurial competencies (ECs) from a developed country perspective. This paper follows two phases in identifying ECs for the 4IR in a developing country context. During phase 1, a Delphi study is employed, whereby 12 participants provide 108 ECs (round 1) and 87 ECs (round 2) required for the 4IR. Based on an extensive literature review, a concept matrix is conducted in phase 2, in which 136 competencies are listed. After phase 2 has been conducted, 87 ECs are identified, of which 33 have resulted as the most cited in the literature. By utilizing this multi-dimensional holistic approach, we can distinguish the ECs necessary to increase entrepreneurs’ capacity to innovate. The final analyses indicate 12 ECs, presented in a conceptual framework and categorized into four domains: cognitive (knowledge), functional (skills), social (attitudes and behaviours) and meta (facilitating learning). The findings illustrate the demand for specific ECs, although no additional ECs such as technology skills are identified for the 4IR within a developing country context.
