“…Other technologies that could be utilized to promote SDL in a learning organization include Massive Online Open Courses (MOOCs; Beigi et al, 2015;Billsbury, 2013), the Individual Learning Plan (ILP; Revill and Terrell, 2005) and online platforms such as Moodle, Google Docs and Wikispaces (Sze-Yeng and Hussain, 2010). MOOCs could serve as a great resource for SDL given that they are free and can be accessed or taken by any employee as long as they have access to the internet.…”

“…MOOCs are cost-effective EJTD 40,7 (Beigi et al, 2015) and enable participants to share information, make connections and benefit from a rich diversity of opinions (Billsbury, 2013). Another potentially useful online learning tool is the ILP, a Web-based platform that enables individuals to create documents and learning projects that can be authored, shared and negotiated by the participants and the facilitator (Revill and Terrell, 2005). The ILP provides participants with the opportunities to build a learning portfolio, design their own learning projects and activities and modify their learning goals in negotiation with the supervisor (Revill and Terrell, 2005).…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine a set of practices that can help promote self-directed learning (SDL) in congruence with the goals of developing and maintaining a learning organization. Design/methodology/approach Findings from this study were derived from an extensive review of the SDL and the learning organization literature, as well as the body of research that examines the connections between the two constructs. Findings This paper identifies the following set of practices as integral to promoting SDL in a learning organization: building and communicating a shared vision to employees at all levels; fostering collaboration, interaction and teamwork; empowering employees through participatory work practices; encouraging and providing opportunities for continuous learning; and using relevant technologies in the workplace. Originality/value This paper addresses the paucity of research that investigates the connections between SDL and the learning organization and that specifically examines important practices vis-à-vis the two concepts.

“…Students may also benefit from discussions initiated by other students, seek clarification from other students, and build a sense of a scholarly community (Brown, 1997; Laurillard, 2002). According to Revill and Terrell (2005), online community discussion forums have been well received by students and result in discussions that are engaging, vibrant and active.…”

“…While the potential benefits of online discussion is clear, Brooks and Jeong (2006) point to research that suggests that online discussions often lack coherence and depth, with students often responding to what other students have said. In order to create the “engaging, vibrant and active” discussions noted by Revill and Terrell (2005), discussion forums must be appropriately planned and moderated. Students cannot simply be “given” an online forum and told to use it.…”

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to examine how online discussion can be used in work‐integrated learning as a vehicle for students to demonstrate their learning in the workplace and to facilitate collaborative learning where face‐to‐face classes are not feasible.Design/methodology/approachThe paper evaluates the use of assessable online discussion in facilitating collaborative learning and scaffolding reflection in work placement subjects. It reviews the literature regarding the use of online discussion, particularly for work placement subjects, and evaluates the use of an online discussion forum in a case study subject in the Queensland University of Technology (QUT) undergraduate law course.FindingsThe paper suggests that assessable online discussion forums are appropriate to facilitate student collaboration and collaborative learning in work placement subjects.Originality/valueThe paper is original in its examination of the assessment of online discussion in a work‐integrated learning context.
