Knowledge Presentation

Random thought

http://www.reliefweb.int/symposium/10_webcast/webcast1.html

View the keynote by Larry Prusak, he has a unique perspective and thoughts on the methods to create and share knowledge. Plus thoughts on the difference between data, information and knowledge.

Not sure I completely agree about his general dismissal of elearning and teaching of information, but still interesting. I think that sharing of information via the web, trainings and such is still very important. There is information that we need just to keep moving, regardless of real knowledge versus information.

Some of the key thoughts I pulled out were:

• Information is cheap, knowledge is expensive
• Systems are good to present and convey information, plus locate who knows what
• Knowledge is social (social networks?)
• No such thing as individual knowledge, just individual memories

HMMMMM.......
