Muller, Lars; Divitini, Monica; Mora, Simone; Rivera-Pelayo, Veronica; Stork, Wilhelm – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2015
Wearable devices and ambient sensors can monitor a growing number of aspects of daily life and work. We propose to use this context data as content for learning applications in workplace settings to enable employees to reflect on experiences from their work. Learning by reflection is essential for today's dynamic work environments, as employees…
