Anhand der Konflikte im »Hohenrodter Bund« 1929 kann abgelsesen werden, dass sich eine Generation vor allem durch ein gemeinsames Bewusstsein sowie durch eine Vielzahl geteilter gesellschaftlicher Merkmale und darauf bezogener Deutungsmuster auszeichnet.

Im Kontext organisationalen Lernens fragen die Autoren, wie man Qualifikations- und Kompetenzentwicklung zusammenbringen kann. Sie entfalten ihren Zugang am Beispiel von E-Learning und Wissensmanagement.

The author gives a summary of accesses of generation overlapping didactics. Thereby he clusters the offers depending on whether one learns from each other, with each other or about each other. Starting from the generation perception the suspicion is trailed that the learning of the generations should be affected in terms of contemporary history and individual biography.
