Enhancing social interaction in competence development networks: a conceptual framework
by Albert A. Angehrn, Katrina Maxwell, Bertrand Sereno
International Journal of Learning Technology (IJLT), Vol. 3, No. 4, 2008

Abstract: This paper addresses the challenge of enhancing social interaction through value-added connections among online community members engaged in knowledge exchange. We report on our exploration of three types of connection dynamics: features enabling network members to visualise and browse through relationship networks; intelligent agents; innovative game dynamics aimed at stimulating the identification and establishment of value-adding connections between users and knowledge assets, individuals, groups and communities. We describe here how such dynamics could be embedded in lifelong competence development networks.
