The Knowledge Ecosystem Navigator (KEN) provides a 2D visual interface for navigating the knowledge assets based on Stories contained knowledge ecosystem.
Associated to each Story a learner has the following options available:

Background.This provides a baseline of what a Story entails

Roles.This indicates the roles (characters) available in the Story

Comments.This empowers the learners with a micro-blog to support the discussion on the Experience.

Play.Triggers the Story so the learner may experience the corresponding situated context.

ExperiencesReveals all the experiences generated by learners who engaged with the Story

Each one of the options expands the additional information contained within the knowledge asset.The micro-blog supports the discussion of both the Story and Experiences separately. The social data garnered improves the future learning experience of the learner.
At any time, the leaner may reposition the view of the KEN by pressing clicking on the right button of the mouse.

	The KEN is a part of the Lounge that is specifically designed for sharing and commenting on users’ story experiences.
	You can activate the KEN by walking up to the statue in the courtyard of the Lounge. When the blue screen surrounding the statue starts to flash, click to enter.
	Inside the KEN you will see a collection of stories, and experiences attached to these stories. Every time you play a story in your LP, your experience will be automatically uploaded to the KEN – where learners can view each others’ experiences and post comments.
	This aspect of the platform is intended to encourage discussion and social learning. The idea is that for each experience you can view the learner’s experience data. You can click to give a rating out of 5 stars. You can also post a comment.
