Knowledge views

Traditional view• Knowledge is a requirement• Knowledge is a commodity• Knowledge is an effect• Knowledge is measured in

output

Today• Knowledge as a task• Knowledge as responsibility• Knowledge as a resource• Knowledge as an asset• Knowledge as a matrix

The New Creativity

– User-generated content– The Long Tail– Folksonomies, Social Bookmarking– Syndication, mashups– Crowd Sourcing, hacking

New visions on Learning

• George Siemens, Stephen Knowles stress the collaborative creation of knowledge in a network (Connectivism)

• Harry Collins highlights the importance of tacit knowledge and interactive expertise

• Importance of informal learning, on-the job learning, LLL

The 4 R's of Openness

– Reuse—The most basic level of openness. People are allowed to use all or part of the work for their own purposes (e.g. download an educational video to watch at a later time).

– Redistribute—People can share the work with others (e.g. email a digital article to a colleague).

– Revise—People can adapt, modify, translate, or change the form the work (e.g. take a book written in English and turn it into a Spanish audio book).

– Remix—People can take two or more existing resources and combine them to create a new resource (e.g. take audio lectures from one course and combine them with slides from another course to create a new derivative work).
