Most of the articles published in the last years highlight teaching and learning approaches and technologies integrated in complex applications and present the concepts used for creating and presenting the educational content. They refer to the methodologies used in self and collaborative learning, including problem- and project-based learning. The assessment process is also illustrated in several articles but there is no a generic framework that complies with the life-long learning rules.
Our proposal is focused on advanced concepts for improving the online training services and how a generic framework can be customized for life-long learning and effective recruitment techniques. The article is based on a virtual collaboration prototype that supports both interpersonal and inter-process collaborative learning and can be considered the core of an educational community.
The article highlights the Web 2.0 approach in e-service environments, especially online training and human resource management, it describes an open architecture adapted to the requirements of a generic collaborative learning infrastructure and the manner it can be easily customized for different business domains. It also illustrates how Computer-Supported Collaborative Training (CSCT) tools improve the knowledge building process and what kind of solutions should be adopted in order to avoid the CSCL weaknesses.
The presented Computer Supported Collaborative Training prototype fixes a set of issues met in the CSCT area: problems with the training staff, time management, responsibilities during the training process, human-system interaction, content management, and cost effectiveness.
This paper is organized as follows: after a suggestive introduction, the related works and proposals are presented in Section II. Section III is dedicated to the low cost architecture proposed. Section IV starts with the technological aspects and continues with the low cost prototype for online training and human resource management, deployment diagram of the e-service platform for blended learning (blended training). The experimental results are highlighted in Section V of this paper. In conclusion, the authors underline the importance of cloud computing paradigms in life-long learning and e-recruitment area by illustrating the solution for each problem met in the Computer Supported Collaborative Training. | Keywords
