A Dynamic E-learning System for the Collaborative Business Environment

Employees should continue their learning activities to face the changing and more competitive business environment. Nowadays, information technology plays an important role of building an e-learning system. In particular, employees work in a collaborative business environment can take advantage of IT-based e- learning system to enhance their learning and share knowledge with others among the business alliance. In this environment, traditional on-job training programs require specific space and time for the tutors and learners that cause extra expenses and reduce learning motivation. Therefore, building a dynamic e-learning system through IT becomes an essential part of the employee training programs. It should provide timely knowledge for employees to complete their assigned tasks individually or collaboratively with partners. A structure with five modules of dynamically configuring appropriate learning objects for learners is proposed. An interactive mode of retrieving learning materials based on individual requirement is presented. Personalized information is then issued to employees and partners to improve problem-solving capability.
