Knowledge transfer in distance learning

The paper outlines some of the issues around knowledge transfer of advanced dynamics of Passenger Transportation Systems in buildings and presents a concept for a distance study set-up for a multi-cultural/multi-discipline R&D environment. Advanced knowledge in regards to vibration control of lightweight cabins of modern Passenger Transportation Systems forms basis of a comprehensive research approach to find out, how this knowledge can be learned most effective and most efficient in a distance learning setting. The impact of individual learning preferences and modern communication channels, such as Social Networking and Social Media, help to shape the novel concept for a distance learning setting for engineering staff of global engineering workforces. The presented state-of-the-art knowledge transfer model clearly demonstrates the implication to the future concept design of enhanced learning courses in higher engineering education and has a game changing potential for appropriate and modern 21st century learning, which is especially of interest in pandemic and crisic times.
