Abstract
. Knowledge that needs to be learned in the workplace may often be illstructured, arising from the need to solve a problem, rather than from a motivation to learn an entire content domain. Existing visually structured knowledge representation methods for education are designed to support subject-based learning. In this paper we describe our conceptual model of collaborative learning which is developed according to constructivist and situated learning principles. On the basis of this model we argue that an activity-oriented approach to representing knowledge is the most suitable for the support of learner-centered learning in a collaborative setting. We derive requirements for our new activity-oriented knowledge representation method which are based on our model of collaborative learning. We describe the method in detail, and apply it to the support of problembased learning. 1. Introduction In the modern information society, work and learning are becoming more and more inte...
