7. Removing
barriers
and
allowing
peer-­‐level
knowledge
sharing
CAPTURING
INFORMAL
LEARNING

8. Knowledge
sharing
on
peer-­‐level
• Our
goal
is
to
support
structuring
the
hidden
knowledge
between
employees
on
a
peer-­‐to-­‐peer
level.
– Trust
is
based
on
reputa3on
and
experience
on
amount
of
shared
content.
– Shared
contents
are
small
enough
that
they
can
be
easily
described
on
meaningful
level,
that
it's
useable
with
xAPI
– This
combined
with
gamifica3on,
like
achievements
and
challenges
could
be
used
and
directed
within
a
enterprise
to
encourage
knowledge
sharing
in
a
structured
way.
