Abstract

We have identified factors that encourage working learners to engage in education of workplace skills and literacies. The study examines the motivations and constraints of working learners as they acquire digital problem solving necessary to succeed in the workplace. In this session, you will learn about this study designed to amplify the voices of working-learners. Together we will examine factors in the 21st century learning ecosystem.
