Applying what is learnt in one context in another context, i.e., the transfer of learning, is often taken for granted and little support is provided to this process across different settings, such as formal education, training, and workplace. Technology-enhanced learning research in formal education abounds, and workplace learning receives growing attention, but what is missing is a comprehensive perspective tracing transfer of learning across settings. Self-directed learning can be seen as a binding agent which supports and propels the transfer of learning. Thus, in this paper, a design-based research is presented, which focuses on self-directed learning at the workplace as a mechanism to support transfer of learning across settings. The potential outcome of the proposed research would be a framework of learning design principles and scaffolding technologies to support self-directed learning and thereby transfer. © 2023 Copyright for this paper by its authors.
