Abstract
The paper describes the learning process and ways to support it. The support
goes beyond supporting specific functions but considers the learning process
as composed of a number of integrated activities. It uses Nonaka’s knowledge
creation process as underlying theory for defining the learning process.
A number of learning activities are identified using this theory. The paper
then identifies differences in support needed for each activity distinguishing
between learning to understand concepts and learning to design systems.
To do this requires different interfaces working from the same knowledge
repository. The paper considers both social and technical issues and suggests
knowledge portals that can be used to maintain a body of knowledge and
provide services both to owners to continually update the knowledge base
and learners to use it. The paper describes one example of a knowledge
portal and its application in teaching.
