Facilitating Knowledge Work #wolweek
Clark Quinn
NOVEMBER 18, 2015
In the course of some work with a social business agency, was wondering how to represent the notion of facilitating continual innovation. This representation emerged from my cogitations, and while it’s not quite right, I thought I’d share it as part of Work Out Loud week. This is very much based on Harold Jarche’s Seek-Sense-Share model for Personal Knowledge Mastery (PKM).

Knowledge Work Types
Tony Karrer
DECEMBER 2, 2008
Several people have asked for some clarification on my definition of Concept Work and Concept Workers. To help clarify this and to begin thinking through implications for Work Literacy Skills , I went back through a couple of different sources. Thomas Davenport classifies Knowledge Work Types in Thinking for a Living: How to Get Better Performances And Results from Knowledge Workers using a variety of classifications. One was based on the complexity of the work.

Search - Implications on Knowledge Work
Tony Karrer
MAY 22, 2006
This post was sparked by a couple of recent articles: Babson Knowledge: How Google Plans to Change the Scope of Googling (And Why Information and Knowledge Workers Should Care). Interestingly, I think the algorithms that Google relies on for searching the public web (based on incoming links) will not work nearly as well as older algorithms based on frequency, semantic interpretation and other techniques.

PWLE Not PLE - Knowledge Work Not Separate from Learning
Tony Karrer

But, too much structure is not going to work. I mentioned quite a while ago (in Personal Work and Learning Environments (PWLE) - More Discussion and Personal Work and Learning Environments ) that: Knowledge work is not separate from learning. Yes, there are times that Knowledge Workers will step away from day-to-day activities to go do developmental learning activities that may not be directly related to their day-to-day knowledge work.

7 Common Reasons for eLearning Course Drop-Outs
Your Training Edge
DECEMBER 3, 2018
One of the common reasons why students drop out from eLearning courses is that they have false expectations about the work involved. Once our subconscious mind has already associated the work involved with pain, we’ll do our best to find excuses to quit. 3. The Lack of Knowledge, Skills, and Prerequisite Experience. Every single online educational material should clearly state the knowledge, skills, and prerequisite experience that’s required from prospective students.
Changes in Knowledge Work and Implications for Workplace Learning – The Keynote That Wasn't

OCTOBER 26, 2009
The conference has a diverse attendee list and I was very much looking forward to my keynote presentation: Changes in Knowledge Work and Implications for Workplace Learning. I was supposed to be in Vancouver right now for the eLearn Conference. Unfortunately, some very sad news in my family as my wife's father, a man beloved by everyone who met him, passed away on Thursday. So, I won't be able to go and make my keynote presentation.

I spent over an hour going online, Googling user groups, until I got what I needed to configure everything.

The knowledge-based economy is here to stay. Companies operating in a variety of industries are aware that having knowledgeable employees is crucial to their success. But knowledge is not something you can take with you in your pocket.

LinkedIn Guide for Knowledge Workers

I do a lot of presentations where one of the topics is how to use LinkedIn more effectively as part of your knowledge work. And I consider knowing how to effectively use LinkedIn to be a core Work Literacy. In most cases, I will ask for a show of hands: How many of you have a LinkedIn Account? Generally 50-70%. How many of you actively use LinkedIn? Generally down to 10%. How many of you get really high value from LinkedIn? -

Taking Stock and Making Choices: Working from home and other such stuff
ID Reflections
AUGUST 28, 2012
Mostly, business as usual at work and crisis situations at home took my time and attention. Because I love what I do (and I am hugely fortunate in that sense), it’s very easy to let my work consume me and my time. Much has been written about priorities and work life balance — especially for women. To strike a work-life balance, work from home as much as possible (most of the time). This taught me a few things about work, technology and myself.

Observations of a Critical Theory newbie
E-Learning Provocateur
FEBRUARY 1, 2011
It’s human nature to accept knowledge that’s universally propagated. In his thought-provoking paper Critical Theory: Ideology Critique and the Myths of E-Learning , Dr Norm Friesen maintains: “The central argument of critical theory is that all knowledge, even the most scientific or ‘commonsensical,’ is historical and broadly political in nature. We live in a knowledge economy. The knowledge economy.
