Knowledge sharing without web 2.0

I've been thinking about knowledge sharing and how to extract practices for my organization. Here's my problem, the organization that I work for does not have any infrastructure to support online sharing capabilities - part of the reason for this is that to implement the infrastructure would be far too costly, and there are security concerns. 

I think it is possible though to have some kind of knowledge sharing via the intranet email communication and server file base - the question is: How do we make it attractive and intuitive enough that individuals are able to contribute to and find the information that they need for the knowledge sharing platform to thrive. 

On the other hand, if this knowledge sharing platform becomes a community - who is going to curate and monitor the content for veracity and relevance? In my field, it is important that individuals operate with the latest information, I would assume that at the very minimum there needs to be some kind of taxonomy implemented per file to ensure that all documents are tagged according to last known date that the information was deemed accurate. I'll probably have to think about this some more. Stay tuned!

    I would think a dedicated "knowledge" drive, like k:// on the internal server would be viable option. An html interface for the folder contents could help make it more navigable. The curator and monitor time is another question entirely....

I'm back - Part 2 of 2

Building on what I mentioned in the last post on developing a community of practice for investment. I can think of just a few ideas, based on my reading of the subject. Essentially, I would argue that the community requires at least three main elements. Firstly, a common agreement or set of guidelines that dictate expectations on investment advice shared in the community can help to make clear two things - the possibility of success or profit as a result of said investment (namely that no investment is comes without risk) and, the expectation of adherence of advice between investors (namely, only you decide what you invest in - do not wildly trust others).  Secondly, a method of arbitration and moderation of disputes and information posted in the community. I would imagine that this is necessary to ensure that (1) fake news is not posted in the community that could harm it and, (2) to help ascertain veracity in disputes between investors/ members of the community. The main issue of...

Week 10: Reflection Post

I'm going to do my reflection post a bit early this time because I have a few more assignments to complete before the end of the week. I think the main thing that's on my mind now, coming to the end of the course is the question of evaluation: How do we evaluate a produsage-centered course? Do we evaluate it like how we would an instructional course? Using Kirkpatrick's 4 levels of evaluation: Level 1 - Trainee sentiments of the course. I would imagine that this would examine: Metrics examining platforms' usability. Metrics examining instructor proficiency and helpfulness. Metrics examining effectiveness of material. Metrics examining relevance of material. Largely survey-based I think on a usual likert scale. Level 2 - Trainee Proficiency This would probably examine: Trainee's understanding of civil military relations. Trainee's understanding of military law. Trainee's understanding of just war doctrine and application of Jus ad bellum...

Week 10 - Extended Realities Technologies as part of Produsage (Part 2)

I thought I should really try to delve into and draft out my produsage assignment a bit more so that I can get a head start before the submission next sunday. I got 4 different assignments to submit by the same deadline, so things are likely to get pretty crazy - doesn't help that I have one more assignment to submit four days after! Haaahhahah! This blog will probably go dark next week - will cash in all my remaining tokens to clear out all the work.  Produsage Assignment: Concept   Theories of Learning and Cognition to be used:  Constructivism - Uses optimally guided instructional model as articulated by Michael Hannafin et al., (1997) Hannafin, M. J., Hannafin, K. M., Land, S. M., & Oliver, K. (1997).
