This is sufficiently hard that I proposed it for a Framework 6 research
project. The idea was to capture the notes a group of people make in one
tool, and make them available in the next tool, as they move through a
problem-solving sequence. E.g. from synchronous chat or
video-conferencing into a discussion forum, then on to a mind mapping
tool, then into a report writer, and so on, until they reach the
organization's knowledge management repository. The problem is of
capturing and transferring emergent knowledge, in an emergent learning
habitat.
