Why do barriers to the exchange of open knowledge resources change in public administrations? Experts in the public sector have been interviewed and outlined antecedents of change to certain barriers. The results are an initial step towards theorizing on barrier change and stepping beyond the current trend of categorizing difficulties to e-Learning and use of open knowledge resources. Categorizing only shows the range of potential challenges. Whether and how the barriers change, however, is seldom addressed in previous literature. The results presented in this study thus provide a new perspective on the phenomenon. Results are part of a longitudinal study about open e-Learning in the public sector across four European countries. They will provide fresh empirical input for discussions at the World Conference on E-Learning how to advance future research and practices in the domain
Wissensmanagement (WM) und IT-gestütztes Lernen sind gerade in kleinen Behörden der Öffentlichen Verwaltung (ÖV), wie z.B. in ländlichen
Gemeinden, noch ausbaufähig. Am Beispiel des EU-Projekts EAGLE werden
Projektergebnisse als Verbesserungsansätze für ein arbeitsprozessorientiertes, IT-gestütztes Lernen vorgestellt. Neuartige Plattform-Features und ihr ÖV-spezifischer Nutzen werden erläutert. Die Ergebnisse der Plattformvalidierung werden vorgestellt. Ferner werden Vorschläge gemacht, wie die Ergebnisse aus EAGLE mit WM und weiteren Wissensquellen der ÖV, wie z.B. der Registratur, zu einem Gesamtkonzept mit bereits vorhandenen Fortbildungs- und WM-Ansätzen verbunden werden können.
This article presents a omparative study of the barriers to open e-learning in public administrations in Luxembourg, Germany, Montenegro and Ireland. It discusses the current state of open e-learning of public administration employees at the local government level and derives the barriers to such learning. This paper's main contribution is its presentation of an empirical set of barriers in the four European countries. The results allow informed assumptions about which barriers will arise in the forthcoming use of open-source e-learning technology, particularly open educational resources as means of learning. Furthermore, this study offers a contextualised barrier framework that allows the systematic capture and comparison of challenges for future studies in the field. Other practical contributions include providing advice about open e-learning programmes, systematising lessons learned and addressing managerial implications.
