Comparison of Open Learning Forms in Organizational Education

Abstract

This article describes the insights from the analysis of the comparative evaluation of open learning methods in organizational education and will be of most interest to researchers and practitioners with non-university background. The approaches considered focus on the selection of solutions based on the meth- ods, which can be individually adapted in the future and applied, for example, by using artificial intelligence technologies to achieve organizational goals without direct human intervention. In this paper we describe the evaluation methods of the learning forms based on the principles of andragogy and consider the software specifics of investigated methods. The obtained conclusions show that the open source course, online learning communities, training with virtual reality and ar- tificial intelligence can be successfully implemented separately and in combina- tion according to the purposes of organizational development. However, learning with artificial intelligence has also a great potential due to the extensive knowledge base and diverse ways of knowledge mediation. Keywords: Open learning, evaluation, organizational learning, adults.
