Project Updates

21 CLEO:
So, Why Persona?
In our last several blog posts, we’ve shared the personas that we generated using interview data analyzed through a qualitative coding process. While each working learner that we interviewed has their own unique story, we used persona development to find patterns across these stories. By presenting each persona as a person, we’ve arrived at empirically-generated depictions of the lives of working learner participants. Check out this blog post to read more about why we are following this path and how we see its potential to inform the development of employer-supported learning.
