This post summarizes forthcoming research on working and learning in Europe, suggesting that there is a correlation between remote working and remote learning. I've seen the same trend reported elsewhere, and it makes sense, because if you're already working from home, it suddenly becomes a lot easier to learn from home. But it's not all gravy. "There is still a long way to go as only 8% of EU citizens followed an online course in 2019. More research is needed to develop the right policies to ensure that EU workers can reap the full benefits of distance working and learning, particularly given the inevitable loss in organisational informal learning and innovation – the most prominent channel of continuing learning – that is expected to follow the distancing of workers from physical workplaces.
