KMi Seminars
Digital resources in a complex web of perceptions
This event took place on Wednesday 13 October 2004 at 10:00

 
Dr. Anne Adams University College London Interaction Centre

This presentation provides an overview of several studies into the use of digital resources within the academic and health domains and a wide variety of communities of practice (e.g. computer and media studies, hospital and patient information). The findings present a complex web of issues resulting in users' poor awareness, usage and understanding of technology. A user's frustration with the technology e.g.

"It's like being given a Rolls Royce and only being able to sound the horn"

highlights interactions between social context, system design and implementation procedures.

The findings are viewed in the context of evolutionary and revolutionary approaches to design. The importance of 'communities of practice' and implementation strategies in informing design are also reviewed.

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.
