Loud and Clear A voice for work based learners: Professor David Young
28 November 2007
Podcast
Professor David Young’s lecture focuses on the voices of individual learners who engage with higher education study based in their workplaces. It may be a truism, but without work-based learners there would be no work-based learning! And learning in higher education is not a straightforward process of knowledge transmission, a commodity to be parcelled up by providers and presented to learners. Rather, it is a process of change and transformation as learners engage.
Learning through Work at Derby sends a positive message that work-based learners are willing and capable of taking responsibility for shaping and managing their own university programmes, that they can initiate and sustain academic discourse online and at a distance and that they feel a sense of pride and achievement in doing so.
