A testimonial by Stephen Downes on our EDUCAUSE Review article.
Available at http://www.educause.edu/pub/er/erm03/erm035.asp
A Revolution in Knowledge Sharing
This may be the most important article you read this year. The authors
document the fundamental shift in the learning landscape taking place
right now: the sharing of knowledge. And they nail it: what makes
knowledge sharing inevitable and important is the nature of knowledge:
“There is no simple, linear hierarchy and progression from data
to information to knowledge. In reality there is a complex
intermeshing, such as a continuous churning of insight, the meaning
of which changes in different contexts and through conversations with
different participants.” Because of this, to work with knowledge,
what you need are not some sort of linear “delivery systems”
but rather “knowledge
networks.” The authors outline four major types: description,
discovery and exchange of content; interaction with and tracking of
content; applications systems interoperability; and infrastructure
interoperability. If we look at knowledge today and tomorrow, what
we see in general is a progression from static,independent, stand-alone,
contextless knowledge objects to a network of dynamic, related, context-embedded
flows of knowledge within a network. This produces what the authors
call a “revolution in knowledge sharing” where “leading-edge
individuals and institutions are on the threshold of major advances
in their capacity to acquire, assimilate, utilize, reflect on and
share knowledge.” Read this paper, or better, share it!
