Web forms are a common mechanism for collecting information online. They pose some limitations which negatively affect ease and flexibility of user interaction. These limitations are more pronounced when collecting information that can not be broken down into well defined and agreed upon structures. Lessons Learned or any kind of ‘knowledge’ is an example of such information. In this paper we introduce a concept of ‘Dynamic Forms’ which is aimed at enhancing user interaction while collecting unstructured information, ‘Lessons Learned’ in particular.
