KnowBrain: An Online Social Knowledge Repository for Informal Workplace Learning
In Proceedings of the European Conference on Technology Enhanced Learning, Springer International Publishing (in press). Springer Toledo, Spain
We present KnowBrain (KB), an open source Dropbox-like knowledge repository with social features for informal workplace learning. KB enables users (i) to share and collaboratively structure knowledge, (ii) to access knowledge via sophisticated content- and metadatabased search and recommendation, and (iii) to discuss artefacts by means of multimedia-enriched Q&A. As such, KB can support, integrate and foster various collaborative learning processes related to daily work-tasks.
