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.

Social Software is...
Interacting with other people not only forms the core of human social and psychological experience, but also lies at the centre of what makes the internet such a rich, powerful and exciting collection of knowledge media. We are especially interested in what happens when such interactions take place on a very large scale -- not only because we work regularly with tens of thousands of distance learners at the Open University, but also because it is evident that being part of a crowd in real life possesses a certain 'buzz' of its own, and poses a natural challenge. Different nuances emerge in different user contexts, so we choose to investigate the contexts of work, learning and play to better understand the trade-offs involved in designing effective large-scale social software for multiple purposes.
