Why? The Knowledge Society
Characteristics of a knowledge society include:
– mobility of services, information, and workforce
– globally-available information
– working in multidisciplinary and distributed teams
– on-going need to update and change one’s skills
– using information technology for knowledge management, sharing, and creation

How? Using workbenches
A platform, tools,
customizable to the user…

People use digital workbenches to…
Solve problems that are meaningful to them
Create new processes for how they interact, communicate, organize and amuse themselves
Build new communities in which they define themselves
Fill their time
Find what they need

Learning as Participating and Contributing
• The focus of learning activities is not only knowledge acquisition, but becoming a member of a community of practice: not only learning from the community, but also contributing to it
• The interactions to which the learner contributes may serve to change the knowledge base of the community even as he or she participates in it

With what? Two types of workbenches for contributions
• Discussion forum with archive
• Shared workspaces
Mostly organized around questions and sharing experiences via online communications…
Mostly organized around sharing resources or “stories”, like a library, but a library where each entry can grow…

Professional teams:
Learners as co-constructors of knowledge in a community of practice
The corporate sector: Shell EP
Well engineers and geologists who work together on multidisciplinary teams

Example: Using a shared workbench for team projects
Teams keep a shared environment…
•For all, drafts, final versions and resources
•Where everyone can leave comments and ideas
•Where others can share your results…..

Thus, how? Digital workbenches, also for learning
1. Common application tools
2. Specialized tools and platforms, but not created especially for learning
3. Workbenches created for learning purposes
4. Educationally oriented workbenches for instructors and instructional designers

How to help? Action Research
…a family of research methodologies which pursue action (or change) and research (or understanding) at the same time…
It is an iterative process which takes shape as understanding increases and converges towards a better understanding of what happens

Our Conclusion:
For us, technology is not for “delivering” learning or for taking the
humans out of learning,
but is rather is a set of tools, a locally tailorable workbench,
which offers affordances to empower people to share, build, support, and
manage their learning together, in their common context
