Knowledge and Project Management
Academia generates a lot of knowledge during teaching and research which need to be managed. Our proposed Knowledge Management model is student centric and caters to these needs of institutes of higher education. It explores the constituents of transferable knowledge in academia and psychological mindset of the students and faculty. Special incentive models have been built into the system for its acceptance and sustainability. Further, untapped knowledge repositories and pathways have been identified and incorporated. The system has been implemented on a pilot basis using web 2.0 technologies for increased level of collaboration and ease of use.
Our initiatives includes:
Knowledge Centric Project Database
For the purpose of managing information pertaining to projects and research being done, a central project database should be created. This database shall store subtasks-methodologies pertaining to the generic tasks associated with a project. Each project also supports its own discussion which simulates interest, leads to betterment of project and identifies interest convergence leading to 'social networking for projects'.
TechnopediaTM
This initiative aims at converting the tacit knowledge related to courses, labs and experiences to explicit tangible knowledge snippets stored in a wiki. This will encourage multiple channels of information flow than just from faculty to students.
Interest Groups
An interest group would bring together like-minded people on a common discussion forum where the right guidance can be sought on a need to know basis. Each interest group would be supported by a notice board presenting important announcement and opportunities. An additional module for expertise tracking will contain information on expertise level of the members in the interest group which helps in finding right people to approach for guidance.
