Context-aware mobile professional learning in PRiME

Abstract

Technology Enhanced Learning (TEL) in professional and organizational settings is increasingly gaining importance. The high availability of mobile end devices and their ability to support learning across contexts open up new perspectives for effective professional learning and knowledge management. The BMBF project Professional Reflective Mobile Personal Learning Environments (PRiME) addresses the challenge of mobile learning in context and realizes a seamless learning framework which connects learning and work processes. PRiME enables the mobile professional learner to harness implicit knowledge and supports continuous knowledge creation and reflection at three different layers: the personal learning environment (PLE), the personal knowledge network (PKN), and the network of practice (NoP).
