Learning Layers
Motivation Scenario: informal discussions among employees Issue: scalability – experts become overwhelmed Requirements: capture expert knowledge, provide direct
access to relevant information Solution: multimedia + annotations + adaptivity Aim: select relevant scenes and present them accordingly

Learning Layers
Workplace Learning Workplace learning is mostly informal
– No set objective in terms of learning outcomes – Not intentional from the learner’s standpoint
It maintains important principles of education – Authenticity, Engagement, Demonstration
Domain knowledge of experts is often ill-structured – Content complexity – Irregularity of application contexts
Cognitive Flexibility Theory (Spiro & Jehng, 1990) – ability to spontaneously restructure one's knowledge, in many ways,
in adaptive response to radically changing situational demands Spiro, R. J., & Jehng, J. C. (1990). Cognitive flexibility and hypertext: Theory and technology for the nonlinear and multidimensional traversal of complex subject

Adaptive Video Presentation Aim: adapt annotated videos according to the current
demands & meta-data on Content, User, Context FOSP Method to specify adaptation strategies
– Filter: take only relevant components (segments) – Order: order them accordingly – Select: choose from alternative representations – Present: responsive design
