The semantic learning organization

Abstract

The application of "Semantic Web" technologies to learning processes is receiving an increasing attention from the perspective of facilitating the selection, delivery and tailoring of learning experiences. But most of the current approaches are centered on the final interaction of the learner with the "learning objects" provided for him/her, neglecting the organizational perspective. From the viewpoint of an organization, the application of Semantic Web technologies should be motivated by the improvement of learning-oriented mechanisms, including both cultural and structural aspects, and considering the ideal of achieving a state of continuous improvement in learning behavior. Such an approach to achieving a "semantic learning organization" gives a complementary perspective to existing "educational Semantic Web" propositions. In this paper, the potential role of the Semantic Web as a driver for enhanced learning organizations is analyzed, and a conceptual framework for the notion of a semantic learning organization is provided.

A study on the effect of social capital on learning organization: A case study of Jihad Agriculture Organization of Kermanshah, Iran

“…Senge (1999) defines the Learning Organizational: The Learning Organization is developing activities, which includes new governance ideas, new management methods and tools to change the way that people would do their work (Rowly & Gibbs 2008). Learning Organization as a change in his behavior is described consequence of the learning (Sicilia & Lytras, 2006). According to our discussion, there are 8 important factors for becoming a Learning Organization:…”

A Semantic Recommender Engine for Idea Generation Improvement

“…They actually contribute positively to all aspects of organizational cont ent generation, distribution, retrieval and reuse (Sicilia & Lytras, 2005). Furthermore, such technologies give an opportunity to build implicit connections and smart relationships between knowledge.…”

“…This indeed led us to talk about semantic learning organization. The "Semantic Learning Organizat ion" is a concept that relates the notion of learning organizat ion to the technological aspect, so that a semantic learning organization can be viewed as a learning organization in which learning activit ies are imp roved and mediated through a kind of technology that insures a shared knowledge representation about the context of the organization (Sicilia & Lytras, 2005). Learning and collaboration activities are greatly facilitated with the use of such integrated sema ntic tools.…”

At the same time, organizations who want to develop and maintain high levels of innovation need a consistent and qualitative flo w of generated ideas (Björk & Magnusson, 2009).…”

SeMatching: Using Semantics to Perform Pair Matching in Mentoring Processes

“…In this new scenario, SW technology has been identified as a factor which can be exploited in the environment of mentoring. According to [33], "Mentors can be semantically selected by matching profiles". The application of semantics in relation to the management of human capital in organizations is not a new concept.…”
