Abstract

Organizational learning helps companies to improve their processes significantly through the reuse of experiences. However, to make learning organizational possible is not an easy task. Therefore, it is necessary to create means to promote and motivate information sharing and knowledge dissemination. This study aims to propose a semantic collaborative environment based on learning objects and units of learning focused on organizational learning. An initial implementation of the proposed environment was carried out, and an experiment with this environment performed. The results show that the approach is viable to improve organizational learning in software development teams.
