15. Knowledge views
Traditional view
• Knowledge is a requirement
• Knowledge is a commodity
• Knowledge is an effect
• Knowledge is measured in
output
Today
• Knowledge as a task
• Knowledge as responsibility
• Knowledge as a resource
• Knowledge as an asset
• Knowledge as a matrix

16. The New Creativity
– User-generated content
– The Long Tail
– Folksonomies, Social Bookmarking
– Syndication, mashups
– Crowd Sourcing, hacking

17. New visions on Learning
• George Siemens, Stephen Knowles stress the
collaborative creation of knowledge in a
network (Connectivism)
• Harry Collins highlights the importance of
tacit knowledge and interactive expertise
• Importance of informal learning, on-the job
learning, LLL

18. The 4 R's of Openness
– Reuse—The most basic level of openness. People are allowed to use all
or part of the work for their own purposes (e.g. download an educational
video to watch at a later time).
– Redistribute—People can share the work with others (e.g. email a digital
article to a colleague).
– Revise—People can adapt, modify, translate, or change the form the
work (e.g. take a book written in English and turn it into a Spanish audio
book).
– Remix—People can take two or more existing resources and combine
them to create a new resource (e.g. take audio lectures from one course
and combine them with slides from another course to create a new
derivative work).
