MOS & Palette
Interest in the 2 aspects of the Palette Project :
3 types of Learning and Organisational Resources (LORs)
- Managing, supporting and evaluating (individual and collective, and informal and formal) learning;
- Organising, managing, developing, and evaluating CoPs;
- Choosing and (individually and collectively) appropriating tools, supporting CoPs in conceiving scenarios of tools uses.
Innovative services (open source), especially mediation & awareness services like eLogbook and CoPe_it!
MOS & CoPs
MOS Club > MOS customers Aim: exchange on MOS best practices.
InCorPorate > MOS customers and universities Aim: Exchange on eLearning best practices. Technology: MOS platform + eLogbook and CoPe_it! > Known environment for customer > Show a new way to use the platform and integrate additional services

Social software for supporting Interaction ina CoP dedicated to eLearning
Within Nestlé there are tools like Team rooms, Communicator (chat), Forums on Intranet to create groups and support networking, exchange documents and best practicesTeam rooms are Colloborative space dedicated to a work group (Project, network expert) in order to exchange all kind of documents
Limitations:
Nestlé Globe environment (Only Nestlé people) No Web 2.0 features such as wiki, social tagging, contextual discussion on a posted document Predefined space structure External chat but no easy way to capitalize on the exchange
Challenges:
How to exchange, share best practices, improve, learn around eLearning and KM topics with people from Nestlé and other companies using eLearning in continuous training and as part of KM
Solution: InCorPorate CoP using eLogbook
InCorPorate Community of Practice
Who:eLearning representatives from multinational companies and academia (Nestlé, Sanofi Aventis, France Telecom, EPFL, …)
Why:Most multinational companies face the same eLearning challenges.
– How to train a lot of collaborators all over the world (Time, resources, budget issues)?
– How to improve knowledge and competences at different level within the organization?
Use eLearning as knowledge capitalization in the KM process.There is also a need to share innovative ideas and best practices between
companies and academia− How do you use eLearning courses? − Are they part of your training and competence matrix? − What are your blended learning practices? − How can you evaluate ROI from eLearning trainings? − How do you motivate the use of eLearning?
How:Currently face-to-face meeting, online exchanges across company boundaries, networking through social events and informal meetings.
Starting Point:
Deconstruction of CSCW: Computer Supported Cooperative Work & Negotiation of usefulness between developers and CoP mediators
eLogBook
eLogbook (http://eLogbook.epfl.ch) is a freely accessible Web 2.0 application developed at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL) in the framework of the Palette European project http://palette.ercim.org/)
It sustains personal and group learning inCoPs.It is built & continues to evolve following a participatory design approach.It simultaneously serves as:
• Community representation & activity management tool • Flexibility in groups creation • Social networking platform allowing social tagging, relationships definition • Contextualized Synchronous & asynchronous communication • Repository for producing, sharing & annotating assets ( e.g.: pdf files, wikis, discussion
threads) • User-centered awareness services • Future evaluation of the acceptability of eLogbook • Example of social software to be used in companies as eLearning platform
