The volume of information in collaborative learning environments can be daunting. Towards the objective of providing the learner efficient access to knowledge by applying knowledge management practices, we posit the use of topic maps, an ISO standard for structuring and indexing information, to support knowledge organisation (KO). We suggest how KO and Bayesian techniques can support collaborative learning to enable more efficient organisation of and access to knowledge artifacts arising from collaborative interactions. To test these ideas, we implemented a prototype called Adaptive Recommendation Module (ARM) for use within our production information portal [email protected]
