Environment for sharing learning materials in software development teams

Human resources development is an important factor in software process improvement projects. A learning environment is proposed in order to provide a means so that software engineers may achieve needed skills. In such environment, learning occurs in an autonomous way through learning material sharing. The learning materials are recommended considering the learning style and ontologies are used in order to structure knowledge. An experiment was performed with 84 Software Engineering students and 80.95% of the participants considered the use of learning style in the proposed environment rather important.
