My name is Stephanie Ranta and I am a graduate student at Michigan State
University. I've been reading the list with great interest but have
noticed that very few of the postings have directly related to higher
education.
I'm currently researching the idea of how one can create a learning
organization on a college campus. For example, we know that learning
occurs outside the classroom and that students learn things that an
administrator might not want them to learn ie) how to sneak beer into the
dorms. How do we create a LO outside the classroom? How do we involve
unionized secretarial staff, administrators, and in general, all the
people who work at an institution to participate in a LO? What type of
environment is most condusive to an LO?
If you have any ideas, thoughts, or experience with LO and higher
education I'd be very grateful.
Thanks and I look forward to future coorespondence.
Sincerely,
Stephanie Ranta
[Host's Note: Welcome Stephanie! I hope this dialogue covers org learning
in all types of organizations... Discussion of OL in higher ed is
welcome. ...Rick]
