Towards a Holistic Personalised Support for Knowledge Sharing in Virtual Learning Communities

Virtual learning communities bring together people from diverse backgrounds and provide the basis for knowledge construction and sharing. Important processes for the community to function as a whole have been identified and examined through existing systems. Although existing systems attempt to support these processes, the absence of a complete community model, and the personalisation and adaptation to the individual rather than the community compose the main obstacles to their holistic success. A computational framework is proposed, to support the community to function as an entity rather than concentrating to the individual person.
