Emergent Knowledge Management

Tony Karrer

There's been a long running discussion around what Knowledge Management is going to look like going forward and whether big systems that manage knowledge are going to be there. For example, see Bill Ives' recent post , and Paula Thorton. As I read through these, I began to wonder what happened to the idea that KM was going to move along the lines of what Andrew McAfee talks about around Enterprise 2.0.

The "Gamer's" Learning Style

Kapp Notes

Kids who have grown up with video games, Gamers , are self-educating. They seek out and learn from the information that is available to them. They do not rely on formal educational settings for their learning. The gamers' learning style: Ignores any hint of formal instruction. They are self-directed learners. Includes trial and error and approaching a problem from different angles.

Out and About: PREP Weekend Conference

Kapp Notes

This weekend, I spent my time in Hilton Head Island at a conference evaluating a National Science Foundation (NSF) project called Plastics Resources for Educator's Project. The PREP project , as it is called, was started over 10 years ago to develop Reusable Learning Objectives (RLOs) in the area of plastics education.

Flying Finn

Learning with e's

To say I was impressed was an understatement. What a speaker - I have just come from the first series of keynote speeches that featured Michael G. Moore and Erik Duval. But it's not these two I want to eulogise over. If either has spoken first, they would have been deemed 'good'. But they had the misfortune to follow a prodigy. EDEN 2007's first keynote speaker, a 24 year old Finn named Teemu Arina, (Pictured Right) completely blew away the entire conference.

An article called Experimental Subjects in the Economist of June 2nd caught my eye. The sub-title read Neuroscience can transform education-if scientists talk to teachers. It seems that in their impatience for practical guidelines to arise from neuroscience research, teachers are turning increasingly to vendors offering them 'brain-based learning' packages containing what Usha Goswami refers to as 'alarming amounts of misinformation'.
