This article describes the philosophy behind the Knowledge Media Institute's approach to teaching and learning. KMI emphasizes 'knowledge' rather than media 'content', and is looking at the role of knowledge assets and diverse technologies as they impact on life-long learning. The article includes an overview of KMI's past successes, including the Virtual Summer School and Virtual Microscope, as well as future research plans.

Knowledge Management is...


Knowledge Management
Creating learning organisations hinges on managing knowledge at many levels. Knowledge can be provided by individuals or it can be created as a collective effort of a group working together towards a common goal, it can be situated as "war stories" or it can be generalised as guidelines, it can be described informally as comments in a natural language, pictures and technical drawings or it can be formalised as mathematical formulae and rules, it can be expressed explicitly or it can be tacit, embedded in the work product. The recipient of knowledge - the learner - can be an individual or a work group, professionals, university students, schoolchildren or informal communities of interest.
Our aim is to capture, analyse and organise knowledge, regardless of its origin and form and make it available to the learner when needed presented with the necessary context and in a form supporting the learning processes.
