Ten-Competence: Life-Long Competence Development and Learning

Abstract

In most solutions for supporting learning today one single approach to learning is leading the selection, installation and usage of IT based tools. Either content-based approaches lead to the creation of a content-based infrastructure with course management systems and content repositories, or a collaboration background leads to the usage of virtual classrooms and collaborative learning environments. The TENCompetence project aims forward for integration of the different tools, perspectives and learning environments in a common open source infrastructure based on today’s standards on the level of knowledge resources, learning activities, competence development programs, and learning networks. TENCompetence will integrate tools in a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) and evaluate the approach in a variety of pilot applications for lifelong competence development.
