Empowering Learners for Lifelong Competence Development: Pedagogical, Organizational and Technological Issues

Early April 2008 an Open Workshop was organized by the EU 6th Framework Integrated Project TENCompetence. The objective of the workshop was to identify and analyze current research and technologies in the fields that provide design guidelines and evidence for powerful interfaces, interaction and navigation support, and tailor-made competence development opportunities for individual learners, teams and organizations. Especially open source infrastructures were thought to be interesting, infrastructures that contain all the services to (further) develop competences, using a variety of distributed knowledge resources (including actors), learning activities, units of learning and learning routes/programs that are available online.
