Integration Of Knowledge

Management And
Collaborative Learning By
Technical Supported
Communication Processes
By: Andrea Kienle, 2006
Scenario
knowledge management systems are mainly used to
collect content from the employees, to structure and
distribute it to other employees who in turn may improve
their task performance with this knowledge.
Have largely developed separately concurrent, with no or
little mutual exchange of experience.
annotations are implemented in systems solely supporting
either discussions of existing content or the joint work while
creating and editing texts.

Problem
Shortcomings In Current CSCL Systems:
1. Students do not have the option of combining the
collection or distribution of their own content with that of
nding A common result for their work
They Lack Of Sufcient Communication Support.
Existing Systems Only Support A Single Aspect Of Integrating
Communication And (Learning) Material,

Objectives
seeks to combine the strengths of both lines of development
in order that both benets from each others advantages
achieve advantages for each development (Cscl-systems,
Knowledge Management Systems, System Offering
Annotations)
to create efcient communication support and tight
integration of content and communication as the basic
mechanism for a new type of integrated platform.
