Workplace learning supports the acquisition of knowledge or skills by formal or informal methods and means that occurs in the workplace. It contributes to the learning of employees, employers and the organization as a whole. As a response to COVID-19 disease, workplace learning had to be changed and many usual activities in this context have been postponed or canceled. Digital learning solutions and alternative activities have to be found in order to continue the learning process. Workplace learning is often incorporated into workplace social interactions and everyday practices, but it can include also formal elements and be supported by mentors and tutors. In this presentation, first some forms, benefits and requirements of workplace learning are described as well as steps and approaches like learning scenarios which have to be developed to ensure social distancing and promote digital learning at the workplace as a solution. Second, some learning methods are proposed which can be applied within workplace learning and have been tested by the Study Group Lifelong Learning of the IAT within a European project.

Digital technologies have increased the pace of knowledge creation, sharing, and the way in which learning is being undertaken. This chapter considers how Serious Games (SGs) as a digital technology endeavours to support effective lifelong learning. Three fundamental characteristics of the SG ecosystem, namely, game mechanics, interoperability, and assessment, are considered here as strategic elements that impact upon how SGs are to support learning, how they affect the learning environment, and ultimately, the SG development process. A prospective deconstruction of SGs into its pedagogical elements and its game mechanic nodes is presented to make aware the interoperability modus from which topical (domain) frameworks or architectures can be structured and assessed. To this end, the chapter explores the conceptual underpinnings through a case study on the eAdventure platform and argues that the key elements form the foundation for strategic development and implementation of SGs.

Digital technologies hold the potential to transform educational assessment. Recent advances reveal that digital environments will support the development of learning and assessment activities in ways that will both increase the inferential fidelity of assessments and change the form of assessments altogether. Digital technologies can also automate data collection and the production of assessment inferences on a massive scale. Here, we discuss the wide variation in digital learning experiences and explain how they are transforming traditional language for discussing assessment. We argue that the predigital constraints on assessment have skewed our thinking about assessment and give examples of new and novel approaches. Second, we discuss how digital environments can allow us to capture and make inferences from simple or complex learning activities in new ways. Third, we point to advances in machine learning and AI that have the potential to change current and future assessment practices. Finally, we argue for balancing enthusiasm for digital environments against the challenges of making appropriate assessment inferences.
