So, for example, you might need to find the answer to a question. Your network might not be accessible, and while received wisdom from a search is one part of the knowledge ecosystem, so is what is in the heads of your colleagues. Imagine, for a moment, that you are on a remote site doing work. Other people, and other information.

And, of course, it occurred to me after a conversation that there might be another example of this ‘tech fix before smart fix’ problem: adaptive learning over good design. So, for instance, adapting a large knowledge-based course will still leave it as a problematic solution in search of a problem.

For example, I have used taking a shower, exercising, or driving. The pressure to meet the output goal means you’ll be searching for things to think about, and that’s not a bad thing. Individual. So my first suggestion was to find times when the mind is free to roam. Organizational.

In Value from Social Media , I talked about the issue of finding information via Google / Search vs. seeking conversation: Let’s consider a simple scenario - I’m trying to decide if a particular solution makes sense for my company / organization. Great example of a query. It's certainly way more fun than a boring old Google search.

You can customize the content you’re searching for with filters. We’re too lax in our content, so that beyond a good objective, we don’t specify what makes a good example, etc. And it’s time we step beyond just hardwiring this content together, and start treating it as professionals.

It should be noted that in the ‘broadcast’ model, not everyone may be aware that there’s a new message, if they’re not ‘following’ the poster of the message, but it should be findable by search if not directly. So, for example, a chat tool typically lets you ping a particular person, or a set list.

For example, email took off once one email standard took hold and allowed different systems to interoperate. So, for example the Salmon project was represented, which is trying to make a mechanism whereby any comment on a piece of web content, regardless of location and tool (e.g. The next generation, I believe , so-called web 3.0,

And Google Search gets used for lots of things. I’ve been sucked in for years (long story, started when they were the last option when I lived in Sydney), but whether you like the service or airline or not, their app is a great example of mobile support. May as well get the benefits if you have to travel.

The way I use LinkedIn Answers is to ask specific questions (never open ended or partially thought out the way I do in a blog) that I want to get specific answers or find people with expertise who I can't seem to find by searching LinkedIn normally. Social Network based discussions (for example a Ning network) act like communities.

My cognitive science-based explanation is that the search in some ways exercises appropriate associations that make the subsequent knowledge stick better. You empirically have better recall for knowledge if you tried to access it, even though you know you don’t have it. It’s a pre-test, but of a more meaningful and engaging kind.

I wish to apply my experience designing courses for online learning; however I've searched and don't know where to begin to actually learn how to use the LMS and course design software available. For example, are you looking at becoming good at doing online sessions? First, a good place to start is to ask around like you are doing.

Which is usually confounded by only one way of organizing, a lack of ways of reorganizing, and sometimes not even a search capability! The problem with this is, it’s organized by the producer’s way of viewing the world, not the consumer’s. Bad usability. Though fortunately that’s now being baked into most tools.).

Allow it to be easily searched. For example, having social bookmarking that allows links to be kept private to a group. It makes sense in many of these cases to keep it inside the firewall. So no problem if their Wiki is tied to the LMS. Just don't make me login to get to it.

This is your classic A/B testing, for example. Or, more optimistically, to search through idea spaces for opportunities you didn’t know to look for. And then he distinguishes between two types of experimentation. The first is convergent. Not surprisingly, this is when you’re trying to eliminate options and make a decision.

Yes, it's only one example and hopefully people thought about lots of others as part of it. I discussed part of this in my recent screencasts LinkedIn for Finding Expertise and Searching for Expertise - LinkedIn Answers. So, while it might be a bit messy, I feel like we did pretty well with the core of what we were going after.

What we need are ways to look up that information, or search for it. Templates, for example are a tool that can help us focus on the important elements. Our long term memory tends to remember meaning, not particular details. However, technology can remember arbitrary and abstract information completely.
