Jagannathan, S. (Ed.). (2021). Reimagining Digital Learning for Sustainable Development – How Upskilling, Data Analytics, and Educational Technologies Close the Skills Gap.New York: Routledge.
Shelia Jagannathan has had her finger of the pulse of learning for sustainable development since she joined the World Bank in 2001, where she is now Head of the Open Learning Campus in Washington, DC. A force of nature, she has gathered some truly insightful and creative chapters in this book – there are twenty-seven in all. The book explores major shifts in content formats, pedagogic approaches, technology frameworks, user and design experiences, and learner roles and expectations that are now beginning to reshape our institutions, particularly in emerging economies. The agile, lean, and cost-effective strategies examined here can function in scalable and flexible bandwidth environments to enable education leaders and practitioners to transform brick-and-mortar learning organizations into digital and blended ecosystems.
