ABSTRACT
Designing courses that support collaboration and individual development is a crucial feature of higher education lifelong learning. This chapter reports a model for course design developed in a project with participants from banks, insurance companies, and one governmental insurance agency. The model aims to go beyond individual competencies by focusing also on organizational development with collaborative features inspired by the Community of Inquiry theoretical framework. Based on the network mode, the course design emphasizes collaborative inquiries between participants that link theoretical ideas to authentic organizational problems. Of particular interest is that the model helps lifelong learners to focus on personal meaning and collaborative application of acquired knowledge for the benefit of their organizations.
