Knowledge management systems

Down from the Ivory Tower

"When the site made its debut in September 1997, students raved to their instructors about having around-the-clock access to course material on the Web. "The great thing was being able to look at the slides at home," says Bullitt, who lives 20 miles from the downtown Boston campus. Using the website as a personal knowledge management system, she organized her course materials into her own folders and made frequent electronic notes. "It's like having an annotated textbook that I could use anywhere, anytime," she says."

"Tufts' Health Sciences Database sets the standard for medical school knowledge management systems. Medical, veterinary and dental students use the website to study. Among its benefits, the system helps students master course material, keeps the curriculum up-to-date and increases organizational efficiency."

ForSociety ERA - Net project

ForSociety : Project Summary

Description of Work
"Foresight is being widely used all over Europe at national level to shape the future of research. The primary objective of the ForSociety ERA-Net is to improve the national programmes of the partners, enhance their European content and achieve a structuring effect on the ERA. These objectives will be delivered in a three-year period, through three sets of coordination activities organized in three work packages:

WP1: Systematic exchange of information and good practice between the participant's programmes in order to provide mutual learning opportunities, and to expand the ERA-Net activities beyond the partners.

WP2: Strategic activities in order to provide background analyses and studies on the programmes, and to prepare them for joint activities.

WP3: Development and implementation of joint activities in order to establish the foundations for a sustainable coordination between the programmes."

WP4: ERA-Net Management.

How to teach: Knowledge and Knowledge Management

There are many things that you can do to encourage
knowledge workers to change the way they work and to
use KM systems, but by far the simplest and most obvious
is to involve them in the project from the very beginning.
Knowledge workers need to participate in the design and
development of such systems. They need to have ownership.
It only makes sense!
