Integrating Innovation, Work, and Learning in Higher Education – The Case of Work Based Learning Frameworks

Barbara Light and Ernst Hartmann

A chapter in Enabling Innovation, 2011, pp 139-160 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This paper discusses the use of Work Based Learning (WBL) as a specific workembedded learning environment comparing it to other learning domains and typologies used in both Germany and the UK. Knowledge creation in the work place is re-evaluated and current approaches to university/ industry cooperation are placed under scrutiny – it is argued here that universities need to engage more equitably with the world of work. The paper then highlights the uses and the importance of Accreditation of Prior Learning (APL) in lifelong learning contexts, focuses on brief case studies, before considering future challenges and what needs to be done to implement WBL frameworks.
