What “Agile” Really Means for a Learning Environment

The main assumption of both working and agile learning is that the environment is constantly changing, and rapid adaptability guarantees success. Agility should help with better cross-functional collaboration, creating more transparency and cooperation with communication, and increasing both productivity and motivation through added responsibility. Testing, learning, and adapting are the important learning triad, which in many cases occur during collaboration with others (social learning).

In “Agile Learning - A Holistic Approach” , researched and written by Dieter Dr. Breithecker of the Federal Institute on the Development of Posture and Movement in Germany, explores the idea of agility in working and learning environments and why it is important to take into consideration a holistic view of the complex human system when designing these environments.
