In R.Koper & K, Stefanov (Eds.), Proceedings of the 2006 International Workshop on Learning Networks for Lifelong Competence Development (pp.23-30). Sofia, Bulgaria: INCOMA Ltd

Abstract: The knowledge management (KM) literature emphasizes the impact of human factors for successful implementation of KM within the organization. Isolated initiatives for promoting learning organization and team collaboration, without taking consideration of the knowledge sharing limitations and constraints can defeat further development of KM culture. As an effective instrument for knowledge sharing, communities of practice (CoP) are appearing to overcome these constraints and to foster human collaboration.

European lifelong competence development: Requirements and technologies for its realisation. In R.Koper & K, Stefanov (Eds.), Proceedings of the 2006 International Workshop on Learning Networks for Lifelong Competence Development (pp.88-92 ). Sofia, Bulgaria: INCOMA Ltd

Abstract: In the TenCompetence project, we aim to address the growing need for lifelong development with an open source framework for competence development programmes. We envisage that the framework will be used for formal, non-formal and informal learning activities; learning units will be created and shared in a distributed manner in learning networks, and peer-to-peer learning activities will be highly important. In this paper, we give an overview of the requirements and techniques needed to achieve this goal.

In R.Koper & K, Stefanov (Eds.), Proceedings of the 2006 International Workshop on Learning Networks for Lifelong Competence Development (pp.82-87 ). Sofia, Bulgaria: INCOMA Ltd

Abstract: Efficient and effective lifelong learning requires that learners can make well informed choices from the vast amount of learning opportunities available. This paper suggests to help learners find their way by analysing choices made by learners facing the same navigational decisions in the past and feeding this information back as advice to present learners.

Abstract: A general problem in life-long learning is how to develop flexible and adaptive learning content, and how to choose and deliver the most appropriate learning activities for the learner. In order to solve this problem, we need to have the proper knowledge model, and clear interpretation how to use it.
