Fostering Collaborative Open Simulation for Next-Gen Enterprise Learning Ecosystems
Barbara Truman (University of Central Florida, USA)
Copyright: © 2019 |Pages: 26
DOI: 10.4018/978-1-5225-9679-0.ch013
Abstract
Leaders seek models of healthy ecosystems to better foster systemic, predictable performance improvement for their learning enterprises. Ecosystems may be viewed narrowly, involving information technology architecture, content, and standards for interoperability or expansively where stakeholders connect to seek next-generation, transdisciplinary learning opportunities across society. Ecosystem stewardship is a responsibility of community/societal leaders and citizens who must collaborate to shape and harness forces and drivers of emerging technology. Mass collaboration is needed to push open simulation into an enterprise capability that monitors and models what was, what is, and can be. This chapter frames academic need and United States military use of open simulation suitable for exploring new ways to steward ecosystem wealth in the interest of learning enterprises and beyond.
