Abstract

Production employees struggle to attend continuing education which requiresphysical presence at an educational institution. To address this challenge, MADE initiated a research project on digital learning factories (LF) in October 2020 in collaboration with four university colleges and four universities in Denmark. During the next three years, we will establish four LFs each anchored at a university college. The purpose is to conductlearning experiments to analyze how we can utilize Industry 4.0 technologies to offerproduction employees greater access to effective lifelong learning through LF. This paper explains the unique LF-collaboration between MADE,a platform for applied research, university colleges educating professionals and universities educating academics. It also reports on the progress of our four LF and lessons learned. The lessons learned include MADEs governance of the initiative, the onboarding of stakeholders, recruiting of course participants, and developingthe four LF.Learning Factory A will create and operate a virtual learning environment on 3D printing. Learning Factory B and C will digitalize different modules of a postgraduate course known as Innovation, Product and Production, and mix bachelor students with production employees. Learning Factory D will analyze the different didactic needs of bachelor students and production employees to develop a digital postgraduate course in simulation and production layout. The university colleges aim to strengthen their relations with local firms toplay a more prominentrole in training their employees through the LF.
