How Collaboration Tools Can Improve Knowledge Work - Brad Power - Harvard Business Review - 0 views

  • We can’t rely on people to pass on the best way to do work by word of mouth. Instead, we need to document and share them, before they become lost.

      Collaborating via internet helps information pass more quickly than doing it verbally. It also insures information will not be lost.
  • Like Facebook, the Nationwide network enables people to share with groups or friends, with easy access through mobile devices. When workers ask questions of the community, they usually get faster answers than from the help desk or e-mail. Some leaders are now posting quick (less than two minutes) video announcements about new or changed processes, instead of sending e-mail.
  • Nationwide’s social collaboration tools help people get conversations started, make faster decisions, get work done more quickly, communicate better top to bottom, recognize peers and better engage workers.

  • Nationwide has been successful because it has managed its adoption of collaboration tools as part of a broader cultural change program. Chris Plescia, leader of marketing, collaboration and corporate Internet solutions, told me that the first step for leaders is a little bit of a leap: “We’ve made it okay to try something new. A couple years ago, it took me about five minutes to post my first question. I was worried I might make a mistake, so I spell-checked it several times before I sent it out. When people responded I realized I needed to quickly interact with them and eventually became comfortable with potential spelling errors. Another challenge was knowing that these conversations are public. So we spent time up front to define policies for compliance and governance.”

shared by Eugene Stewart on 03 Dec 13 - No Cached
  • 1. ContentWhat is the intent of the content? Are the title and author identified? Is the content "juried"? Is the content "popular" or "scholarly", satiric or serious? What is the date of the document or article? Is the "edition" current? Do you have the latest version? (Is this important?) How do you know?
  • 2. CredibilityIs the author identifiable and reliable? Is the content credible? Authoritative? Should it be? What is the purpose of the information, that is, is it serious, satiric, humorous? Is the URL extension .edu, .com, .gov or .org? What does this tell you about the "publisher"?
  • 3. Critical ThinkingHow can you apply critical thinking skills, including previous knowledge and experience, to evaluate Internet resources? Can you identify the author, publisher, edition, etc. as you would with a "traditionally" published resource? What criteria do you use to evaluate Internet resources?
  • ...7 more annotations...
  • 4. CopyrightEven if the copyright notice does not appear prominently, someone wrote, or is responsible for, the creation of a document, graphic, sound or image, and the material falls under the copyright conventions. "Fair use" applies to short, cited excerpts, usually as an example for commentary or research. Materials are in the "public domain" if this is explicitly stated. Internet users, as users of print media, must respect copyright.
  • 5. CitationInternet resources should be cited to identify sources used, both to give credit to the author and to provide the reader with avenues for further research. Standard style manuals (print and online) provide some examples of how to cite Internet documents, although standards have not vet been formally established.
  • 6. ContinuityWill the Internet site be maintained and updated? Is it now and will it continue to be free? Can you rely on this source over time to provide up-to-date information? Some good .edu sites have moved to .com, with possible cost implications. Other sites offer partial use for free, and charge fees for continued or in-depth use
  • Is your discussion list "moderated"? What does this mean? Does your search engine or index look for all words or are some words excluded? Is this censorship? Does your institution, based on its mission, parent organization or space limitations, apply some restrictions to Internet use? Consider censorship and privacy issues when using the Internet.
  • If more than one user will need to access a site, consider each user's access and "functionality". How do users connect to the Internet and what kind of connection does the assigned resource require? Does access to the resource require a graphical user interface? If it is a popular (busy) resource, will it be accessible in the time frame needed? Is it accessible by more than one Internet tool? Do users have access to the same Internet tools and applications? Are users familiar with the tools and applications? Is the site "viewable" by all Web browsers?
  • Does the Internet resource have an identified comparable print or CD ROM data set or source? Does the Internet site contain comparable and complete information? (For example, some newspapers have partial but not full text information on the Internet.) Do you need to compare data or statistics over time? Can you identify sources for comparable earlier or later data? Comparability of data may or may not be important, depending on your project.
  • What is the context for your research? Can you find "anything" on your topic, that is, commentary, opinion, narrative, statistics and your quest will be satisfied? Are you looking for current or historical information? Definitions? Research studies or articles? How does Internet information fit in the overall information context of your subject? Before you start searching, define the research context and research needs and decide what sources might be best to use to successfully fill information needs without data overload.

  • The answer seems to be that they do. The National Literacy Trust found that social networking sites and blogs help students to develop more positive attitudes toward writing and to become more confident in their writing abilities.
  • 49 per cent of young people believe that writing is “boring.” However, students who use technology-based texts such as blogs have more positive attitudes toward writing. Whereas 60 per cent of bloggers say that they enjoy writing, only 40 per cent of non-bloggers find writing enjoyable.

  • Despite a time of global recession, the “Digital Universe” expanded by 62% and by 2020 it will be 44 times as big.  We will have amassed digital information that can be described in zettabytes – that is to say, one zettabyte being a million, million gigabytes.  This would be the equivalent of a stack of DVD’s going halfway to Mars.

      seems like a "how to be evil" step by step!
  • Sidetrack opponents with name calling and ridicule.
  • 6. Hit and Run. I
  • 7. Question motives.
  • 8. Invoke authority.
  • 9. Play Dumb.
  • 10. Associate opponent charges with old news.
  • 11. Establish and rely upon fall-back positions.
  • 12. Enigmas have no solution.
  • 13. Alice in Wonderland Logic.
  • 14. Demand complete solutions.
  • 15. Fit the facts to alternate conclusions.
  • 16. Vanishing evidence and witnesses.
  • 17. Change the subject.
  • 18. Emotionalize, Antagonize, and Goad Opponents.
  • 19. Ignore proof presented, demand impossible proofs. This is perhaps a variant of the “play dumb” rule. Regardless of what material may be presented by an opponent in public forums, claim the material irrelevant and demand proof that is impossible for the opponent to come by (it may exist, but not be at his disposal, or it may be something which is known to be safely destroyed or withheld, such as a murder weapon). In order to completely avoid discussing issues may require you to categorically deny and be critical of media or books as valid sources, deny that witnesses are acceptable, or even deny that statements made by government or other authorities have any meaning or relevance.
  • 20. False evidence. Whenever possible, introduce new facts or clues designed and manufactured to conflict with opponent presentations as useful tools to neutralize sensitive issues or impede resolution.
  • 21. Call a Grand Jury, Special Prosecutor, or other empowered investigative body.
  • 22. Manufacture a new truth. Create your own expert(s), group(s), author(s),
  • leader(s) or influence existing ones willing to forge new ground via scientific, investigative, or social research or testimony which concludes favorably. In this way, if you must actually address issues, you can do so authoritatively.
  • 23. Create bigger distractions.
  • 24. Silence critics.
  • sh. If you are a key holder of secrets or otherwise overly illuminated and you
  • think the heat is getting too hot, to avoid the issues, vacate the kitchen.

      . On January 25, 2011, Egyptians took to the streets in  Cairo, Alexandria, and some other places in the so called Day of Revolt, concentrating their  grievances on legal and political matters. Rather than a typical small protest, the Day of Revolt  exploded into a monumental moment in Egypt's history because of social media. Social media  did not cause Egypt's revolution; however, it accelerated the movement. Viral videos, such as  Asmaa Mahfouz's, and the suicide of Mohamed Bouazizi in Tunisia created a surge of emotion in  Egyptians, persuading them to protest.  Egyptian protestors used Facebook and Twitter to get people out on the streets within the  country and YouTube to let the world know what was happening. By using tools that the regime  underestimated, activists were able to spread hope, not only to Egyptians, but also worldwide,  encouraging other repressed populations to attempt something similar in their countries.  Because of the protests, President Mubarak stepped down and turned his power over to the  Supreme Council of the Armed Forces; however, at the time of publication, protests continue in  an effort to speed the process of what many Egyptians see as extinguishing the last remnants  of the old regime. Without social media allowing Egyptians to communicate with the outside  world, the government would have been able to quickly suppress the protests.

      Role of Social Media in the Revolution Philip Howard (2011) quoted an activist in Cairo as saying, "We use Facebook to schedule the  protests, Twitter to coordinate, and YouTube to tell the world." This statement sums up the  use of social media in the protest. Newsweek.com offers a collection of videos that are posted  chronologically: http://www.newsweek.com/2011/01/28/youtube-captures-scenes-from-egypt-protests.html.  Newsweek calls it the Facebook Revolt; in fact, it could also be called the Twitter Revolution, the  first of its kind. However, not everyone agrees with the Facebook Revolution concept. Malcom  Gladwell believes that the influence of social media is limited, and the revolutions would have  happened anyway: "I mean, in cases where there are no tools of communication, people still get  together. So I don't see that as being… in looking at history, I don't see the absence of efficient  tools of communication as being a limiting factor on the ability of people to socially organize"  (Ingram, 2011).

  • Avoiders. This group consists of people, who are born during the digital age, and do not desire new technology. They are not enamored with Facebook, Twitter, Netflix, or Hulu. For example, I know a 14-year old, who prefers to paint portraits. She owns an iPad, only because her school books are on it. She only watches public television.  She sings in the church choir.  She is very happy. Minimalists. This group is aware that digital technology is a part of their daily life. They choose to interact with only the most interesting things to them personally. For example, I know a young person who does not have a Twitter account and avoids Facebook. She is not a gamer.  She sends emails and downloads books to her Kindle. Enthusiastic Participants. This group is the largest group of Digital Natives. Like their Digital Immigrant cousins the Eager Adopters, Enthusiastic Participants embrace and use all forms of digital technology. This group prefers texting and tweeting over sending out email blasts. They are aware of the latest technology, trends, and tools. Their online and offline lives are blending together.

      Learning literacy from listening to podcast on mp3. This was a system created by Carol Greig a former technology coach, and won the international Reading Association's 2008 Presidential Award.
  • To help students who have auditory processing problems or dyslexia, schools are using various computer technologies to make students more aware of the sounds of words when others speak or when students themselves read aloud.
  • Recent summer school data revealed that this combination of technology and direct instruction helped some students improve as much as two grade levels in their word attack skills over six weeks, Egli says.

  • The technology "builds those auditory and language skills" of students, allowing them, generally, to be more receptive to learning because typically 80 percent of the instructional day relies on auditory information, Egli says.
