APOSDLE - advanced process-oriented self-directed learning environment

The goal of the APOSDLE project is to significantly enhance knowledge worker productivity by supporting informal learning and teaching activities in the context of knowledge workers everyday work processes and within their work environments. It exploits synergies between learning and knowledge management by reusing content not originally intended for learning, and not require new content to be created. It will utilize contextualized communication for teaching, and not burden experts with additional tasks; and it will be based on knowledge sources available within an organization. The outcome of APOSDLE will be a methodology, software framework and reference architecture for workplace learning enhancing the learning processes for the individual and the organisation. In order to ensure the general applicability of this outcome an application-driven approach is used to cover the needs of three fundamentally different organizations: a network of SMEs, a public organization, and a large corporation.
