Abstract:
Workplace learning is an environmental contextual and dynamic procedure. Needs and desires in workplace learning arise from actions and practices in working environment; learning contents consist of explicit and tacit knowledge dynamically created and intertwined with working and practicing. The development of an effective workplace E-learning system is faced with several problems: 1) How to specify and update learning needs and desires in contextual and dynamic workplace settings? 2) How to activate and formalize knowledge sharing and contribution procedure for collecting knowledge emerged during practices in working communities? 3) How to organize and store knowledge pieces in a way that reflects workplace learning needs and supports adaptive learning content delivery? 4) How to incessantly update and adjust learning contents to keep up with the changing working context? In order to solve these problems, we propose an adaptive workplace learning model, in which the performance meas
urement result is used as an indication of working proficiency, a reflection of learning needs, and a sign of the level and quality of knowledge shared and contributed for achieving specific performance, with a view to organizing learning contents and effectively guiding learning and knowledge sharing process.
