A paper from the 2013 STEM Annual Conference.
This paper reports on results from an on-going investigation of how computing professionals perceive and value self-directed learning based on a qualitative analysis of interviews with ten computing professionals in the UK and elsewhere. The professionals expect that future colleagues will have a well-developed ability to learn on their own and indicate that they use a range of resources strategies and collaborators to help them learn. These interviews were then taken as a basis for innovations within the teaching and learning environment of students at Aberystwyth University.
