ABSTRACT
What is special about workplace learning – viewed in relation to learning as a whole – is that it takes place in a certain learning space. This chapter deals with the fundamental features of the workplace as a learning space and offers an overview model in line with the learning model in the previous chapter. It shall be mentioned that in dealing with these matters I have found great inspiration in the work of two of my colleagues, Christian Helms Jørgensen and Niels Warring (Jørgensen and Warring 2003, and several papers in Danish), and part of the following is, directly or indirectly, taken from their contribution to our common book Learning in Working Life (Illeris and Associates 2004).
