Abstract:
In modern society, workers are continuously challenged to acquire new skills and competencies while at
work. Novel approaches and tools to support effective and efficient workplace learning in collaborative and
engaging ways are needed. On the other hand, Business Process Management (BPM) is more and more
employed to support and manage the complex processes carried out within organizations. We propose to use
BPM also to drive workplace learning, with the advantage of aligning real tasks to training tasks. We introduce
a specification of learning path that maps BPM tasks and activities into sequences of learning tasks that can
be customized to learners competence. The learning path specification can be used to both drive learning
sessions, and to inform a monitor that can assess learner’s progress. We describe a platform that is under
development, and provide a simple motivational example to illustrate the approach. The goal is to combine
work and learning in natural and effe
ctive way.
