Abstract
This chapter examines the application of agile teaching practices from a sectorial perspective, analyzing how education takes place in the public sector, the for-profit sector, and the third sector. We show that most professionals occasionally wear an educational hat, and as such can apply agile teaching and learning practices, modified as needed for the specific environment (e.g., academia, industry, or the public sector). We use two frameworks that we introduced in previous research to analyze agile teaching practices as well as their expression in the three sectors. Our findings promote efforts to expand the scope of agile learning beyond conventional (formal or informal) educational systems to other sectors and organizations.
