"This book by Filip Dochy and Mien Segers is a real eye-opener for professionals involved in corporate and vocational learning, be it as policy makers, program designers, teachers, or trainers. In contrast to previous traditional approaches, the HILL-model is strongly founded in recently advanced multidisciplinary research on learning and development. This innovative perspective on education opens multiple possibilities for designing more efficient methods (such as team, hybrid learning, …) that involve a major shift by placing the agency of learning and developmental activities in the hands of the learners themselves. Whereas the HILL-model of focuses on corporate and vocational training, its basic ideas and practices are also relevant and applicable in other educational settings. A major domain in this respect is for example the teacher education." - Em. prof. dr. Erik De Corte, University of Leuven, Belgium" Creating Impact Through Future Learning is a very much needed book on effective high-quality learning in today’s working life. It addresses the key question of how can training programmes help people to learn effectively in a constantly changing world.The book introduces a new model of learning ‘HILL’ (High Impact Learning that Lasts). The HILL model helps learners work and learn in teams, to give and receive feedback, to practice and develop communication and interpersonal skills, to be critical and to search for accurate and reliable information in order to solve new problems, and to develop self-responsibility. The HILL model supports adult learners and professionals in their continuous learning processes and helps then to be prepared for tomorrow’s working life. The HILL model has a solid scientific foundation. It is based on researchers’ current understanding of key elements of high-quality learning. Furthermore, this book is based on its authors’ extensive research on learning in different context, in particular in the working life.Even though the book has a strong scientific underpinning and is written by two scholars, it is very well written and motivates professionals to develop themselves. Furthermore, the book gives directions of how to create effective training programmes to both professional education and corporate training.
