Stimulating Personal Development and Knowledge Sharing

Abstract

This workshop is organized by the EU 6th Framework Integrated Project TENCompetence (www.tencompetence.org). The goal of the workshop is to identify and analyse state-of-the-art research and technologies in the fields that provide the building blocks for the development of an open source infrastructure containing all services needed to support individuals, teams and organisations to (further) develop their competences, by using distributed knowledge resources and learning units, routes/programmes, and activities, that are available online. This includes open, usable and accessible services for:

creation, sharing, discovery and use of knowledge resources, learning activities and learning paths by individuals, teams or organisations development, use, monitoring and maintenance of competence frameworks for different professions or domains of knowledge assessment of competences registration, use and sharing of personal data (profiles, portfolios, etc.) discovery of suitable learning resources that are adapted to the users needs and profile support of users to navigate through all available learning resources to build specific competences support for users to learn in new fields and for the people who provide the support (e.g. by providing monitoring services, help by email handling, etc.).
