This paper addresses the challenge of enhancing social interaction through value-added connections among online community members engaged in knowledge exchange. The authors report on their exploration of three types of connection dynamics:
1 features enabling network members to visualise and browse through relationship networks
2 intelligent agents
3 innovative game dynamics aimed at stimulating the identification and establishment of value-adding connections between users and knowledge assets, individuals, groups and communities.
The authors describe here how such dynamics could be embedded in lifelong competence development networks.
