In New Work and New Work Skills , I discuss the fact that most of us have not participated in formal learning since college on foundational knowledge work skills - especially metacognitive skills. I only use it in about 2-3% of my searches. We are struggling to keep up.

Most descriptions of tool sets start with the tools and proceed to describe the features of the tools. Starting with the tools is what I consider to be a bottom-up approach. It's left to the reader to interpret where they fit into their day-to-day concept work. I understand why most authors start with the tool.

One of the questions being raised this week in the free, online course Work Literacy: Web 2.0 To me, this is a critical part of The New Skills for knowledge workers. And what I often cite as the biggest change in knowledge work skills over the past 20 years is the change in access to people. Great example of a query.

The point, however, is from the point of the view of the learner, all the resources needed are ‘to hand’ through every stage of knowledge work. Courses, information resources, people, representational tools, the ability to tap into the 4 C’s (create, contextualize, connect, co-create).

Many LMS users work with an authoring tool (e.g. They diverted the money they were spending on the ongoing maintenance and hired an instructional designer with LMS knowledge. Working together they identified an LMS that met their needs, was easy to use, and only had a modest cost. This is then hosted on an LMS.

I think as "knowledge work" moves more toward free agency and companies continually seek to shed overhead, it is going to be the people who can highlight their work and who make a difference who are going to be hired quickly and easily and who will command the most money. --Clay Shirky My latest additions to del.icio.us

The way organisations work today is almost unrecognisably different from the structured and closely-managed systems in pre-Internet and pre-ubiquitous connectivity times. They, themselves, expect immediacy and real-time responses. Innovation is their driver and change is accepted as the norm.

Complexity of Productivity for Knowledge Work Productivity is defined as: the ratio of the quantity and quality of units produced to the labor per unit of time For some knowledge workers, we can reasonably define things this way. If anything this tool has detracted from productivity, not increased it.

Which authoring tool, LMS, etc. To me this has heightened my sensitivity to the need for concept workers to reach out to people for knowledge work tasks in order to ensure they will receive a good evaluation. I'm coming to believe this is the most important Knowledge Worker Skill Gap. Is my answer reasonable?
