A News Agency will be formed very soon to collect the news and take steps to immediately disseminate through community radio. Primarily, this has been named as "Community Media News Agency", which is likely to start working from…

Hello everyone.

in relation to the research project that I am working on I am currently asking the above question on my external blog. I gathered some different types of knowledge that appear in the literature and thought that it would be great to hear what practitioners think about their relevance.

I would highly appreciate if you take a just a minute to answer just one question at the following link (…

Dear all

I happen to be on the Core group since some years. I participated in 3 KM4Dev face to face events. I sit on the 3 persons steering group of the CTLab activity running this year (2012). I volunteer regularly as monthly KM4Dev administrator (mainly to manage the dGroup). I think I contribute regularly on various conversations within our community...

There is the word: community

And yet... after so many years I'm still not sure whether KM4Dev is, what I…

In his recent blog post, Seth Earley suggests that economic development and success in the modern age depends on knowledge sharing and that knowledge sharing depends on library science and search-based applications. Do you agree?

Hello,

I did a short online questionnaire on the above outlined question and spent some time thinking about the results. The result gave a pretty one-sided picture that could trigger some interesting thoughts with some of you.

I would be very happy to hear them. Find the related blogpost …

Dear members, has anyone of us ever held parallel sessions in Knowledge sharing forums? I have to facilitate one on school sanitation and I am not so sure how it is done yet I want it to be very successful. Could any one share on this

Hello

Just want to ask if there is anyone who have better ideas on how to effectively capture tacit knowledge, i need to hear people's experiences when undertaking this task.Is it something you can say its easy to do or its hard to a certain extent?

Hi guys

I am still a student of KM at the University of Botswana,i was wondering if there is any model for KM strategies or this is something that develops and changes as new knowledge is discovered?

I am undertaking a research project at the Department of Information Science at Loughborough University, UK. The project has the working title:

'facilitation of knowledge exchange in international development'

This is, of course, a very broad 'statement' but the project is in its infancy and would benefit from everyone's contribution since it is trying to follow a participatory philosophy. At this early stage it would be great to hear people's take on the issue…

Hi everyone,

Following Nancy/Gauri's discussion and the recent Lucie/Charles discussion on 'moving away from knowledge products to knowledge sharing processes', here is a topic that is little explored but could have great potential in helping all of us develop an enabling environment for change, learning, critical reflection, sharing etc. This third episode in the new discussion series means that I will be collecting answers to the question for the next two weeks and then will provide…

This last blog post I wrote seems to resonate with quite a few people and I thought it might be useful for KM4Dev folks too... You can check my other posts in pictures on Pinterest or…

A lot of people, when they first join KM4Dev, either as they subscribe to the mailing list or to this Ning site, are wondering how they can contribute to it, what they can do etc.

This KM4Dev wiki page offers some options, any other idea or question you have is welcome to make these guidelines even more helpful.

Cheers,

Ewen
