Internet Technology and its Application in Competence Development of Highly Educated Staff: The Role of Transferb

Assessing the Role of Mobile Technologies and Distance Learning in Higher Education
Journal · pp. 249-271
Abstract

This chapter discusses how Internet technology can be used as a distant learning means for individual competence development of highly educated staff. By formulating clear perspectives on competencies, competence development, and transfer, it is argued that Internet technology can only partly be used as a means for competence development. Furthermore, hopes are expressed that by understanding the assumptions underlying competencies, competence development, and transfer, researchers and practitioners find themselves invited to develop varied and effective ways to apply Internet technology in highly educated staff learning processes. © 2015 by IGI Global.
