چکیده
Verbal inter-human exchange forms an important part of informal learning, especially for workplace learning. But informal learning of an employee within inter-human communication implies informal teaching of another employee on the other side. And in the same way we try to integrate the learning process into the surrounding work processes, we also need to integrate the teaching process into the work processes on the teacher side. As a method for matching interests on both sides, we present in this paper the context-aware mediation of communication between the learner and the informal teacher.
