Abstract
This chapter seeks to overview the evolving developmental purposes for which workplace experiences are being engaged and to discuss contributions of learning through everyday work activities and how these experiences are augmented by the structuring (i.e. workplace curriculum) and activities intentionally aimed to promote effective learning (i.e. practice pedagogies). This discussion draws on accounts of long-standing and emerging pedagogic practices, including the use of simulations and diverse ways in which experienced practitioners can support learning in an era of digitalization, including through digital mediums. A range of such pedagogic practices are enacted as part of everyday work activities that can enrich and augment that active learning. There are also workplace activities and interactions whose qualities have the potential to be inherently effective learning experiences. These are referred to as pedagogically rich activities that have particular qualities.
