Digital Innovation Lab
Introduction to the course
The Digital Innovation Lab is a blended training programme designed to spark inspiration and provide guidance for learning and development institutions around the world to successfully digitalize and innovate their training initiatives and events. Inspired by Radcliff's framework for digital innovation, we understand learning as, first and foremost, an experience that should transform systems of knowledge and skills. This experience finds its focus in the exchanges that are generated between individuals through guided design (pedagogy), supported by practical tools (technology) which require a specific infrastructure (space).
