The notions explored in this paper have arisen in a project (JITOL) experimenting with IT‐supported open learning applied to the personal development of professionals. In this context, we hypothesize that open learning is optimum for acquisition of knowledge. The method underlying open learning in JITOL is rather unique. First, it is based on the idea that collaborative learning is essential, particularly for the professional development of individuals. Second, it emphasizes knowledge stemming from the debates between professionals and provides methods for capitalizing on it by a recursive process, called the reification of interactions.
