K3, work in progress, an acronym for Kollaboration (collaboration), Kommunikation (communication) and Kompetenz (competence), provides a knowledge management software that supports collaborative knowledge production in learning environments. The underlying hypothesis is that collaborative discourse conciliates information as well as communication competence better than traditional methods of instruction. The collaborative, communicative paradigm of K3 is supported by asynchronous communication tools as a means of constructivist learning methodology. In summer semester 2003 the course "Communicative paradigm of knowledge management" was applied as a first case study of K3īs didactic concepts in teaching with the help of traditional communication software such as an electronic communication forum, but also by using the online collaborative dictionary ENFORUM.
