EDUCAUSE: Revolution in Knowledge Sharing
EDUCAUSE: Revolution in Knowledge Sharing"It is remarkable how unreflective many academics and educators are about the nature of knowledge, outside of their immediate domains of interest. To be sure, they hold some types of knowledge in high regard, and they respect the highly personalized knowledge that academics and practicing professionals have accumulated. But academic knowledge substantially remains a 'cottage industry,' with both tacit and explicit knowledge the purview of isolated craftspeople and professional guilds… In most academic settings, knowledge resides in archipelagos of individual knowledge clusters, unavailable for systematic sharing. Yet such defiance of the networked world will soon be unsustainable."
