Paper on Knowledge Sharing

It's a bit of an unhelpful title IMHO - Development_of_an_ e-learning_knowledge_sharing_model -

but it's got some stuff that is useful background for our project. It's a Framework paper by Bronwyn Stuckey and Richard Arkell. Talks about

• information v knowledge, and the relative value of each of them
• the notion of personal agency
• corporate v personal content management
• compliance culture v enabling culture

Also has handy diagrams of what they call cultural quadrants. PDF doc here

Lifelong Access to Your Own Content

From a student at UTS:

I'm doing a subject at UTS this semester on experiential learning. We have a bulletin board with just so much valuable info on it. Links to so many different web sites that are invaluable. And so many helpful contacts within the messages on the bulletin board.

But as is typical so few (if any) of us have the time at the moment to look at them all.

A few of the students have been commenting that it would be brilliant if there were some way for us to not lose access to all of this valuable info once we are no longer enrolled in the subject which finishes the end of June. (Me especially as I had to pay full price because I'm a cross institutional student)

(Is there) some way that (with permission from UTS) we could transfer all that valuable info into a moodle or web page or whatever technology you think could work & then we'd have permanent access to it.

Oh for the time when – is it Web 2.0 – is operational in all unis and information is readily available to all rather than kept in the hands of a precious few & only accessible for the duration our fee is relevant to (typically 6 months per subject)!

Any suggestions or advice much appreciated – even if its only to keep dreaming of the future.

More on Web 2.0. Essentially who will pay for all the free 2.0 sites?
