Virtual Links: intergenerational learning and experience sharing across age divides and distances.

This article presents and discusses “Virtual Links”. This builds on “The Golden Link”, a model which was developed to address the challenge of how to make experience based competencies of senior workers available to the organisation and to younger workers with less experience. “Virtual Links” support cross-generational communication and learning, as well as enabling access for mobile workers to the knowledge of experienced seniors not physically present.
