Introduction: Workplace Learning

4

• Informal way of gaining knowledge• Connected to the work processes• Personal interest• Lack of structure or guidance

...that’s way many traditional LA solutions cannot be applied for workplace LA

Introduction

5

• Special focuss on learning theories– Three metaphors for learning

• Flexible way of structuring data– The Social Semantic Server

• Applications that make use of the data collected– The SSS Dashboard

Three metaphors for workplace learning

7

• Knowledge acquisition– Knowledge as something acquired by the learner

• Participation– Learning happens by participating in a cultural

process• Knowledge creation– Collaborative and systematic development of

common objects of activityPaavola, S. and Hakkarainen, K. (2005) “The knowledge creation metaphor -an emergent epistemological approach to learning“. Science & Education 14(6) 535-557

Three metaphors for workplace learning

8

• The metaphor chosen has an impact on– Data collected– Data model– Data management processes– Applications

• Not much focus on learning creation to develop LA applications

Data collected by the SSS

• Professional teacher training course• 10 students + 1 trainer• Share bookmarks using Bookmarker• Filter, find and cite bookmarks using Attacher• 5 months training

Experience using the SSS Dashboard: Study design

17

• 1 teacher and 1 student used the SSS Dashboard once the course was over

• 6 information retrieval tasks were proposed– 2 based on each learning metaphor

• Example: “SSS should support the understanding of emerging topics in the student community“– Teacher: “Identify learning topics that are surprising for you“– Student: “Find some learning topics you were not aware about“

• Data gathering: observation and interview

Experience using the SSS Dashboard: Results

18

• Both could accomplish the six tasks• They considered they got relevant information– Trainer understanding the learning process– Learner discover learning artifacts

• Both users were familiar with the data abstractions– Problems with semantic social networks

• Tag cloud visualization was specially useful

Conclusions

20

• First prototype of the SSS Dashboard• Usable and useful for trainers and learners– Specially to understand learning following the

knowledge creation metaphor– It was easy to learn how to use the SSS Dashboard

• A flexible and quite complex data structure is needed
