A Collaborative Learning Design Environment to Integrate Practice and Learning Based on Collaborative Space Ontology and Patterns

The integration of practice and learning is a key to cultivation of organizational capability for creating or inheriting intellect. In this paper, firstly we address the critical research issues for collaborative space design to integrate practice and learning. Following the discussion, we have built an ontology which specifies the structure of the collaborative learning, described patterns of a collaborative space by reference to the learning theories and developed an intelligent function to support a collaborative space design on ontology-based KM environment, Kfarm, as a foundation for supporting collaborative space design.
