Tiivistelmä
Working life has seen accelerated change during the past decades. This change has been described as volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous (VUCA). The critical role of Higher Education Institutions in preparing the students for working life has also gained some recognition, but studies on educators in HEIs are still very rare. The aim of this study is to investigate educators' experiences in designing learning environments that aim to prepare students for the future working life in HEIs across 13 different learning environments in 5 countries. This article brings new insight on how the educators experience enabling student's learning. Three educator profiles could be derived, and the study shows differences among educators in both experiences and perceived importance of design elements. However, more research is needed on how educators perceive these learning environments, and how these may or may not support their role in enabling students' learning for the VUCA world.
