Project TEAL: Add Adaptive e-Learning to your Workflows

Workflowor taskembedded e-learning is an actual trend in enterprise and office environments. Having been integrated into enterprise workflow or task management systems, e-learning turns into a powerful tool for enterprise knowledge management: the seamless integration into the working environment allows getting actual information about potential learning goals of the user; using up-to-date e-learning technologies enables just-in-time delivery of goal-oriented, user-tailored learning curricula, helping employees to solve problems autonomously and competently. This paper reports about the results of the project TEAL (Task-embedded adaptive e-Learning) taking place at German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI). The aim of the project was to prove the concepts and feasibility of task-embedded e-learning by designing a reference architecture and realizing prototypical implementation based on the existing components built at DFKI: WFMS Taskman, LCMS DaMiT and ActiveMath.
