Presentation contents

• Purpose and goals in enterprise learning

• Background and technology• Where are we right now?• Live demo and discussion

Purpose and goalsRemoving barriers and allowing peer-level knowledge sharing

Going beyond course based learning

• How to capture tacit knowledge in organizations– Social learning allows feedback and discussion

• How to get people to share knowledge– UX challenge– Awarding sharing knowledge– Allow peer review and valuation of knowledge

Knowledge sharing on peer-level• Our goal is to support structuring the hidden knowledge

between employees on a peer-to-peer level. • In this concept badge issuer and receiver can both be

persons, without issuer needing to be a organization. – Trust is based on reputation and experience on amount of

shared content. – Shared contents are small enough that they can be easily

described on meaningful level, that it's useable from Tin Can perspective

– This combined with gaming elements, like achievements and challenges could be used and directed within a enterprise to encourage knowledge sharing in a structured way.
