KMi Seminars
Mental imagery, visualisation tools and team work
This event took place on Monday 22 March 2004 at 12:30

 
Dr. Marian Petre Faculty of Maths and Computing, Open University

This talk will describe a series of empirical investigations into the relationship between mental imagery and software visualisation in professional, high-performance programming. It will describe why these programmers tend not to use commercially available visualisation software as well as what tools they build for themselves, how they use the tools they build for themselves, and why they build tools for themselves.

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.
