My earlier post on games got me digging through my archives (yet again), where I found two posts looking at knowledge management and knowledge work through the lens of games. Both of these posts are based on James Paul Gee’s book What Video Games Have to Teach Us About Learning and Literacy. This second post looks [...]

Also tagged Education, Knowledge Work, learning, Tools, video gamesWhen addressing the idea of tacit knowledge in respect to knowledge management, most descriptions focus on the tacit knowledge IN organizations – that is, the tacit knowledge of the individual members of the organization – and how to capture and share that tacit knowledge.

Quite a bit of discussion around the topic, including questions about whether you should try to capture knowledge from those leaving, how you should do it, etc. etc. Personally, I agree with V Mary Abraham (@vmaryabraham) when she says: Ideally, [...]

Also tagged KM, Knowledge Work, learning, Mastery, MoviesToday marks the 10-year anniversary of my discharge (honorable, in case you’re wondering) from active duty as a US Army officer.
