Learn @ Work : Competency Advancement with Learning Templates

The APOSDLE project aims to improve knowledge worker productivity by supporting work-integrated learning. Our Work@Learn approach is based on re-using a wide variety of knowledge artefacts within an organization (such as project reports and meeting notes) for learning. Typically these artefacts have been built without any teaching objectives in mind. Within this contribution we present the way competencies are handled within the first APOSDLE prototype and how competency gaps are automatically identified. We then show how the APOSDLE Learning Tool automatically generates learning events relevant to the competency gap by utilizing organizational knowledge artefacts. Early evaluation results of the prototype are provided and future improvements are discussed.
