Computer-based, Individual Learning at Work: Developments and Trends

Anna Maria Köck and Klaus Tochtermann

A chapter in Enabling Innovation, 2011, pp 133-137 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract In today’s collaborative and knowledge-intensive work environment, conscious handling of knowledge as a resource represents a decisive success factor for the competitiveness of organizations. Knowledge today is one of the key resources for innovations and innovation processes in companies (cf. Tochtermann et al. 2007, 5). In this context, efficient learning and acquisition of new, context-relevant knowledge is becoming more and more important. The fact that organizations – and individual employees in particular – need to manage ever greater and increasingly dynamic quantities of information needs to be taken into account in this regard.This challenge requires intelligent solutions which address the problem that knowledge workers typically spend 33% of their working hours searching for information and supporting colleagues who are searching for information (cf. Cross and Parker 2004; Griesser et al. 2009, 44).
