This document discusses knowledge sharing in international and highly mobile work groups. It examines the challenges of connecting staff across multiple countries and flexible workplaces. It explores various digital tools used at CELSTEC to share knowledge, such as weblogs, wikis, and video. However, having too many systems causes confusion. The document argues that engagement, reflection with contextualized information are needed to effectively share knowledge and support learning. It suggests lowering barriers for creating and sharing information in order to better connect distributed groups.
