Abstract. This contribution introduces the so-called Workplace Learning Context
as essential conceptualisation supporting self-directed learning experiences
directly at the workplace. The Workplace Learning Context is to be analysed
and exploited for retrieving ‘learning’ material that best-possibly matches with
a knowledge worker’s current learning needs. In doing so, several different
‘flavours’ of work-integrated learning can be realised including task learning,
competency-gap based support and domain-related support. The Workplace
Learning Context Model, which is also outlined in this contribution, forms the
technical representation of the Workplace Learning Context.
