Dr. Lutz Goertz MMB-Institute for Media and Competence Research, Essen/Berlin

Overview
The problem – learning in companies
The solution – sector-oriented learning portals
The new solution – an integrated web 2.0-based learning portal

The problem – learning in companies

The problem
Target: Finding learning content in vocational education and life long learning in companies
Solution 1: Search in own company (esp. SMEs)
Content not available
No learning or knowledge management platform available
Only knowledge valid for own company

The problem
Solution 2: Search the web
Off the shelf content – too much ballast
Only for a very special topic (occupational safety)
Only for special target groups (e.g. sales representatives)
Only one learning method (e.g. blended learning)
Solution 3: Integrated Public Portals for sectors and professionals

Definition: Sector-oriented learning portals
Sector-oriented learning portals support
all learning processes
all qualifying levels (vocational training, academic studies, LLL in companies)
all learners / teachers / staff members in an economic sector
Networking between all stakeholders.
