Le@der 3.0 Academy

Abstract

Le@d3.0 Academy intends to create a knowledge alliance between Academy and Industry to widespread the use of Web3.0/Open Educational Resources (OER) by trainers to develop those Strategic e-Leadership skills (Se-Ls) that are required by the labour market in the Digital Age.Le@d3.0 focuses on trainers as changing agents and aims at: identifying new Leaders’ transversal competencies needs (decision making, people management, strategic vision, design, creativity, intra/entrepreneurship) and how to raise them using innovative methods; undertaking a gap-analysis to identify the competencies trainers are lacking to effectively develop Web3.0/OER based learning programs to train and enhance Se-Ls; shaping, deploying and testing an open virtual environment & an educational tool kit for trainers enabling learning processes aimed at Se-Ls; and, setting up a Community of Practice (CoP) of trainers to use Web3.0/OER in Strategic e-skills education.Partners from 7 European Union countries will assure a wide dissemination of project’s outputs and results and will create an international Le@d3.0 Academy for Se-Ls devoted both to trainers of the academic and business world (primary target group) and to students/managers/entrepreneurs (secondary one).This communication intends to provide a first overview on the Le@d3.0 project’s main goals and research findings, exploring how strategic leadership skills are affected by the digital age and how they can be embedded in learning contents and processes, in universities, business schools and corporate academies.
