To the (A)AEL book version 2.2

Sin­ce 2021, this domain has been used to deve­lop, in an ite­ra­ti­ve and incre­men­tal man­ner, an open and free­ly acces­si­ble online publi­ca­ti­on — or open edu­ca­tio­nal resour­ce — on the con­cep­tu­al approach and frame­work known as Agi­le Edu­ca­tio­nal Lea­der­ship in the Post-Digi­tal Era (AEL for short). Sin­ce July 2024, the title of the approach and frame­work has been fur­ther deve­lo­ped in Ver­si­on 2 to AAEL – Ambi­dex­trous Agi­le Edu­ca­tio­nal Lea­der­ship for the col­la­bo­ra­ti­ve design of (hig­her) edu­ca­ti­on in the post-digi­tal era (AAEL for short).

For the AEL book — and, strict­ly spea­king, now for the AAEL online book as well—Ver­si­on 2.2 was fina­li­zed by 2025. A Ver­si­on 3.0 is plan­ned for release as a book in 2026. The AEL online book, Ver­si­on 1.0, was com­ple­ted in 2021. It remains available here in the left-hand menu as the now-archi­ved Ver­si­on 1.0.

A chat­bot for the AAEL book (AAEL-Bot for short) has been set up. The AAEL-Bot com­pi­les pre­vious publi­ca­ti­ons (as of Febru­ary 2026) and uses this infor­ma­ti­on to ans­wer your ques­ti­ons about the con­cep­tu­al approach and frame­work of Ambi­dex­trous Agi­le Edu­ca­tio­nal Lea­der­ship in the Post-Digi­tal Era, Ver­si­on 2.2. The­re is an icon on the left side of the home­page that you can click to open the bot.

While updated and new chap­ters will gra­du­al­ly be added to form a com­pre­hen­si­ve Ver­si­on 2, the cur­rent ver­si­on will remain valid.

The con­cep­tu­al deve­lo­p­ment of the Agi­le Edu­ca­tio­nal Lea­der­ship approach and frame­work in the post-digi­tal era, as well as its fur­ther deve­lo­p­ment in terms of empi­ri­cal and theo­re­ti­cal foun­da­ti­ons and its prac­ti­cal appli­ca­ti­on in the con­text of (hig­her) edu­ca­ti­on, are part of Prof. Dr. Kers­tin Mayr­ber­ger’s rese­arch and deve­lo­p­ment acti­vi­ties at the Uni­ver­si­ty of Ham­burg.

The AAEL book is an out­co­me and pro­duct of the DUA pro­ject. DUA stands for the pro­ject title “Digi­ta­li­ty and Ambi­dex­teri­ty – On the Pro­fes­sio­nal Manage­ment of Chan­ge in For­mal (Hig­her Edu­ca­ti­on) Con­texts under the Con­di­ti­ons of Digi­ta­liza­ti­on” (see this trans­fer pro­fi­le for a brief over­view). The DUA project’s own web­site is the­r­e­fo­re lin­ked to this domain and ser­ves as a pro­duc­ti­ve and infor­ma­ti­ve refe­rence point for the AAEL book, as well as pro­vi­ding fur­ther pro­ject con­text. Through the over­ar­ching DUA blog hos­ted the­re and its com­ment func­tion, users can stay infor­med about updates and enga­ge direct­ly with one ano­ther regar­ding the AAEL book.

You are invi­ted to com­ment on the latest updates, ask fol­low-up ques­ti­ons, and share your ide­as! We are hap­py to include con­s­truc­ti­ve sug­ges­ti­ons in the back­log for the AAEL book. Plea­se keep the fol­lo­wing gui­de­lines and infor­ma­ti­on regar­ding the editing pro­cess for the AAEL book — inclu­ding its draft ver­si­ons — in mind: 

• What you see here is alre­a­dy an MVP (Mini­mum Via­ble Pro­duct) of the AEL book in the agi­le and incre­men­tal sen­se, which is available to you befo­re com­ple­ti­on (#done).
• Each new ver­si­on of the AAEL book is given its own ver­si­on number.
• The ite­ra­ti­ve chan­ges, addi­ti­ons, and res­truc­tu­ring in the indi­vi­du­al chap­ters of the online book are also mark­ed at the bot­tom of each page with the date of the last update, and major chan­ges are noted in a chan­ge­log as the next ver­si­on, along with the date, to ensu­re transparency.
• For every new sec­tion of text, every major chan­ge or new item from the AEL book and its con­text, the DUA pro­ject, the­re is a cor­re­spon­ding post on the DUA blog with a com­ment func­tion. If pos­si­ble, plea­se use this com­ment func­tion for dis­cus­sions, feed­back, ques­ti­ons and suggestions. 
• A blog post direct­ly rela­ted to an online chap­ter with a com­ment func­tion is lin­ked direct­ly under the respec­ti­ve text sec­tion in the AEL book and is also acces­si­ble via the RSS feed “News about the AEL book & the DUA project”. 
• Comm­ents on the DUA blog are mode­ra­ted, so it may take a litt­le while for comm­ents and repli­es to appear. Comm­ents that are off-topic will not be published. 
• All your comm­ents will be answered. 
• In addi­ti­on, you can also send feed­back and comm­ents direct­ly by e‑mail or lea­ve them direct­ly on the rele­vant AEL posts via Lin­ke­dIn.
