Technology Enabled Learning & Teaching @ UNSW

Like the dinosaurs, the ignoranti will eventually die out. It is just a matter of time. Until that happens I feel sorry for all those kids who fall victim to cyberbullying because their overprotective school or college denied them the digital safety/digital literacy education they deserve.

How? Small steps, most of them logical and obvious, such as: change performance appraisal guidelines so that knowledge sharing is taken into consideration find out about someone’s knowledge sharing habits not by checking the amount of posts on the intranet but by asking their peers (check for quality of contributions and willingness to help, for example) use knowledge audit questionnaires and interviews to gather data (obviously!) and to, simultaneously, emphasise the behaviours expected from staff have idea banks but make the idea cycle completely open and transparent so that ideas are owned and worked on by all those interested review the way the organisation rewards and recognises new ideas, new business, good results, etc..
