Rapid and accelerating changes in job skills and knowledge requirements call for learning responses of increasing complexity. Core life-long learning is necessary to function as thoughtful and productive humans in society. Varieties of on-the-job training (OJT) and just-in-time learning (JITL) techniques are necessary to support evolving learning requirements. We will take the tool-builder's perspective in discussing the learning frameworks necessary to support JITL, whether JITL occurs in OJT or in classroom or home settings. The view that learning is a socially-mediated exercise is presented. We argue that the Dynamic Knowledge Repository (DKR) framework suggested by Douglas Engelbart can provide an appropriate framework with which to support learning of all kinds. We will sketch DKR applications and suggest ways to apply them to both OJT and public learning opportunities.

New Media Systems is...
Our New Media Systems research theme aims to show how new media devices, standards, architectures and concepts can change the nature of learning.
Our work involves the development of short life-cycle working prototypes of innovative technologies or concepts that we believe will influence the future of open learning within a 3-5 year timescale. Each new media concept is built into a working prototype of how the innovation may change a target community. The working prototypes are all available (in some form) from this website.
Our prototypes themselves are not designed solely for traditional Open Learning, but include a remit to show how that innovation can and will change learning at all levels and in all forms; in education, at work and play.
