eLearning is Not Knowledge Management
This is great, a four-year old piece by Verna Allee that foreshadows all of the hot thinking right now, particularly around social networks and emergent learning. Specifically, she talks about what eLearning providers need to understand in order to create real intellectual capital:
"For elearning providers to really support knowledge management, they would expand their focus to learning communities and link to the real-time knowledge object repositories that people use in their daily work. A more complete knowledge focus would mean having the capacity to:
- Connect people to people in ways that build learning communities
- Support learning communities in creating knowledge objects
- Connect to those knowledge objects in elearning modules
- Create expertise and learning profiles of the community..."
We had the pleasure of seeing Verna speak at a SmartNet event here in Christchurch recently -- great, high-level strategic thinking.
