Introduction
• Employees have to face new challenges every day• Need to become flexible and self-directed in adopting innovations• Self-directed worker > self-directed learner• Develop yourselve anywhere and anytime• Supporting learning anywhere & anytime > ubiquitous learning
environment (ULE)• Many ULE initiatives, but a a grounded foundation is missing

Central definitions
1. Self directed learning2. Ubiquitous learning environment (ULE).

Central definitions
1. Self directed learning• Learner takes control over all educational decisions.• In interaction with the environment (social and physical)• Learner decides what (s)he needs to learn and how (s)he can
achieve this.

Self-directed learning meta-review
• Systematic search in Ovid-PsychInfo, 1967-2007• Criteria:
• Self-Directed learning• Self-Managed learning• Student-Centered learning• Meta-analysis & literature review
• Output:• 63 hits > 18 hits met the criteria> 15 publications found• Publications between 1982 - 1997 & 2 more recently
• Conclusions self-directed learning:• More effective learning• It can be learned!

Self-directed learning - Characteristics
1. Learner control
2. Self-regulating learning strategies
3. Reflection
4. Social environment
5. Physical environment

Central definitions
1. Self directed learning
2. Ubiquitous learning environment (ULE)• Supports learning anywhere and anytime,• Flexible mix of technologies (PDAs, games. e-learning e.g.)• Interactive, adaptive didactical strategies.

ULE design consequences
1. Learner control• The learner can make choices (what, why, how, when)
2. Self-regulating learning strategies• The use of learning strategies is stimulated: functionalities for
planning and formulating learning goals3. Reflection
• Reflection on both the performance and the learning process isstimulated
4. Social environment• The learning environment stimulates cooperation with other
learners.5. Physical environment
• The setting of the assignments and their content are based on theevery-day work of the learner.

Grounded development of a ULE for firstresponders
• Self directed learning elements into ULE scripts• Story in pictures, combined with questionnaires.• Presented to first responders (n=62)

ULE scripts for First responders
Four scripts1. Last minute learning during a crisis2. Enrichment of team exercises for individual learning3. Practicing at quiet moments during regular work4. Serious gaming simulating a crisis
