On the (A)AEL book version 2.1 – a few formal comments in advance

Sin­ce 2021, an open and free­ly acces­si­ble online publi­ca­ti­on and open edu­ca­tio­nal resour­ce on the con­cep­tu­al approach and frame­work of Agi­le Edu­ca­tio­nal Lea­der­ship in the post-digi­tal age (AEL for short) has been crea­ted ite­ra­tively and incre­men­tal­ly on this domain with the AEL book. Sin­ce July 2024, the title of the approach and frame­work has been fur­ther deve­lo­ped with ver­si­on 2.0 to AAEL – Ambi­dex­trous Agi­le Edu­ca­tio­nal Lea­der­ship for the joint design of (hig­her) edu­ca­ti­on in the post-digi­tal age (short: AAEL).

For the AEL book and, strict­ly spea­king, now for the AAEL book, the next mile­stone is the dif­fe­ren­tia­ti­on of a ver­si­on 2.1 for 2024/25 and a ver­si­on 3.0 for 2026. The AEL book ver­si­on 1.0 was com­ple­ted in 2021. It is still available as the now archi­ved ver­si­on 1.0 here in the menu on the left.

A chat­bot for the AAEL book (in short: AAEL bot) has been set up. The AAEL bot com­bi­nes pre­vious publi­ca­ti­ons (as of 2/2025) and, on this basis, ans­wers your ques­ti­ons about the con­cep­tu­al approach and frame­work Ambi­dex­trous Agi­le Edu­ca­tio­nal Lea­der­ship in Post-Digi­ta­li­ty in ver­si­on 2.0. The­re is an icon on the left side of the home page to open the bot.

While updated and new chap­ters will gra­du­al­ly evol­ve into a com­pre­hen­si­ve ver­si­on 2.0, the pre­vious ver­si­on that is still available will remain valid.

The con­cep­tu­al deve­lo­p­ment of the approach and frame­work of Agi­le Edu­ca­tio­nal Lea­der­ship in the post-digi­tal era, as well as its fur­ther deve­lo­p­ment in terms of empi­ri­cal and theo­re­ti­cal foun­da­ti­on and for a prac­ti­cal trans­fer for the (hig­her) edu­ca­ti­on con­text, are part of Prof. Dr. Kers­tin Mayr­ber­ger’s rese­arch and deve­lo­p­ment acti­vi­ties at the Uni­ver­si­ty of Ham­burg.

The AAEL book is one result and pro­duct of the DUA pro­ject. DUA stands for the pro­ject title ‘Digi­ta­li­ty and Ambi­dex­ter – On pro­fes­sio­nal­ly hand­ling chan­ge in for­mal (hig­her) edu­ca­ti­on con­texts under the con­di­ti­ons of digi­ta­li­sa­ti­on’ (see this trans­fer pro­fi­le for a brief descrip­ti­on). The DUA pro­jec­t’s own web­site is the­r­e­fo­re lin­ked to this domain and ser­ves as a pro­duc­ti­ve and infor­ma­ti­ve refe­rence point and fur­ther pro­ject con­text for the AAEL book. The DUA blog, which is lin­ked to the web­site, and its com­ment func­tion pro­vi­de an oppor­tu­ni­ty to find out about inno­va­tions and to get in direct cont­act with each other about the AAEL book.

Here you are invi­ted to com­ment on the latest chan­ges, ask fur­ther ques­ti­ons and pro­vi­de impul­ses! Con­s­truc­ti­ve sug­ges­ti­ons for the back­log of the AAEL book are wel­co­me. Plea­se keep the fol­lo­wing infor­ma­ti­on in mind regar­ding the pro­cess of editing the AAEL book in its (inte­rim) versions: 

  • What you see here is alre­a­dy an MVP (Mini­mum Via­ble Pro­duct) of the AEL book in the agi­le and incre­men­tal sen­se, which is available to you befo­re com­ple­ti­on (#done).
  • Each new ver­si­on of the AAEL book is given its own ver­si­on number.
  • The ite­ra­ti­ve chan­ges, addi­ti­ons and res­truc­tu­ring in the indi­vi­du­al chap­ters of the online book are also mark­ed at the end of the respec­ti­ve page with the date of the last update and major chan­ges along the back­log are noted and made trans­pa­rent as the next ver­si­on with date in a chan­ge­log.
  • For every new sec­tion of text, every major chan­ge or new item from the AEL book and its con­text, the DUA pro­ject, the­re is a cor­re­spon­ding post on the DUA blog with a com­ment func­tion. If pos­si­ble, plea­se use this com­ment func­tion for dis­cus­sions, feed­back, ques­ti­ons and suggestions. 
  • A blog post direct­ly rela­ted to an online chap­ter with a com­ment func­tion is lin­ked direct­ly under the respec­ti­ve text sec­tion in the AEL book and is also acces­si­ble via the RSS feed “News about the AEL book & the DUA project”. 
  • The comm­ents in the DUA blog are mode­ra­ted, so the publi­ca­ti­on of comm­ents and repli­es may take a while. Comm­ents that do not fit the topic will not be published. 
  • All your comm­ents will be answered. 
  • In addi­ti­on, you can also send feed­back and comm­ents direct­ly by e‑mail or lea­ve them direct­ly on the rele­vant AEL posts via Lin­ke­dIn.
