Communities and Continuing Education Sample Clauses

Communities and Continuing Education. One of the critical areas for understanding sustainability is how volunteers in a digital community can learn, in terms both of practical and social skills. As Xxxxxx Xxx established, there is a love of learning and working with experienced professionals in an area of shared interest that is a critical motivation for volunteering at cultural institutions.135 This inclination towards “serious leisure” helps to understand what volunteers expect in terms of how they will participate and learn, as well as what kind of value they will get out of the volunteer experience. Research into adult educational and learning settings and processes outside of the classroom, more generally, can inform the specific case of learning within crowdsourcing and volunteer contexts.

Continuing education research therefore serves as a possible model not just for the upskilling of digital community members but also for reinforcing the serious leisure activities identified by Xxx through pedagogically well-founded approaches. It is clear from the research into crowdsourcing that volunteers want a return on investment from their time with the community136 and asking them what they hope to accomplish is a critical first step to defining their role. Do community members see themselves as students learning new skills? Do they hope to transition from students to professionals? By establishing...
