Sébastien Paquet in Building bridges between knowledge transmission efforts comments on e-learning, KM, HRD – where am I belonging?
Trying to identify different flavours (knowledge acquisition, knowledge management, communities of practice, e-learning, information architecture, library science…) only obscures the simple fact that we’re all trying to solve that difficult core problem of finding effective ways to transmit knowledge from mind to mind - in other words, communication between people. Let us take down the language barriers that prevent us from combining our forces; let’s work as one large, powerful group. I’m sure we can pull it off.
Agree that we talk about same processes from different perspective, but I guess that there is more than language barriers: different theories and models, different networks of people, different conferences and journals… Finally, when it comes to the organisational level, there are different departments responsible and a variaty of unrelated technology tools (we did a small study on KM/e-learning connections in companies, I’m waiting for the results to go public to post it here).
It’s not going to be easy, but I believe in common language, and I’m looking for practical steps to build bridges…
