Web resource collaboration center (WRCC): an integrated tool to support lifelong learning
Pages 300 - 309
Abstract
Influenced by EPSS, generative learning, and intentional learning strategies, a Web-based tool -- called the Web Resource Collaboration Center (WRCC) -- was developed to support learning communities in building their own Web-based learning and performance support systems to support lifelong learning and professional development. Using various online communication and collaboration technologies, the WRCC is designed to not only enable learning communities to (1) build a learning and professional development resource that will provide them with immediate support and guidance and (2) help them develop structure, strategies, and skills for subsequent lifelong learning and professional development activities, but also (3) take responsibility for creating original resources that support lifelong learning and professional development.
