Knowledge Management (KM) deals with creating and exchanging knowledge within groups of persons in organisational contexts. The potentials and needs of the individual is often not in the focus of KM efforts, although no-one would deny that the individual as knowledge bearer, -user and -creator is naturally the most essential part of knowledge management. The main goal of PKM is make the individual more productive - and thereby the organisation as a whole.

The term Personal Knowledge Management (PKM) has two main dimensions:

• Personal Knowledge - Ultimately, all knowledge is personal knowledge. Following the tradition of Nonaka&Takeuchis spiral model (and later Ba model) knowledge resides partially in the minds of people and can partially be codified as external artifacts. PKM investigates the use of methods and tools to amplify the abilities of the individual to work better with knowledge. E.g.
  • recall previously learned knowledge faster (or at all) when it is required
  • model personal knowledge and beliefs with external modeling tools to derive new insights (MS Excel is often used for this today)
  • strategies for filing ideas to retrieve them when needed

• Personal Management - Management is a systematic approach to define goals, measure, define and execute actions and repeat this control loop until the goal is reached. Different from traditional management, in personal management one has to manage oneself. This involves the problem of fulfilling two roles (executing and managing) and learning when and how to switch between them. Typical management problems in PKM are e.g.
  • time and task management
  • matching work habits with personal productivity level variations
  • investing time into personal learning and PKM improvements
  • work-life balance

There are also some good SmallTalk apps, a male and female iapasha app, oral motor, dysphagia that are meant to go with the Lingraphica, however you can use them on your iTouch/iPad/iPhone. I also really like Jumbline 2, Bubbles HD and iDork XL for problem solving/cause and effect, etc.

Research questions

• How can an individual effectively and efficiently use external tools to amplify his abilities to handle knowledge in large quantities and /or with high complexity?
• How can the individual support, structure and improve his personal knowledge management and individual knowledge creation,-modeling, -usage and -development?
• How can the conflict between personal goals (e.g. motivation) and the goals of an organisation (e.g. efficient knowledge sharing, productivity) be tackled or even resolved?

Foundational questions such as

• theoretical foundations of PKM (e.g. from cognitive psychology, cognitive ergonomics, etc.),
• extension of established KM-methods with PKM-specific aspects,
• results from work sciences about characteristics of and potential for support of individual knowledge work,
• legal questions (e.g. which knowledge must be shared or may not be shared, privacy issues arising from user observation by tools)
• relations of PKM to related topics (e. g. ePortfolio and competence/skill management and development),
• methods for self-management and PKM key competencies (e.g. time management, task management, stress management, social networking).

Methods and tools such as

• those for personal knowledge articulation (e.g. knowledge mapping, editable visualisations, step-wise formalisation),
• personal wikis, semantics desktop, personal storage and search solutions,
• extending PIM tools and methods for PKM, creativity tools and personal idea management,
• innovative use of new technologies (e.g. mobile devices, speech recognition, ePaper),
• the link from personal to shared knowledge models,
• tools for computer-supported personal work (CSPW) in contrast to and combination with CSCW.

Applications and case studies such as

• long-term studies,
• lab experiments,
• products and best practices,
• evaluation of personal knowledge work and supporting tools

There are a number exnepse-free methods to spice up YouTube views on your videos. In case you don't need to shell out any amount in augmenting traffic to your videos, you can begin by selecting an fascinating and unique title on your videos. When men and women read an attention-grabbing title, they're going to almost always turn out to be drawn to it and be motivated to view the video. You can likewise goal a particular keyword or keywords and add their situation to your title to help your video show up in much more searches. Utilising tags might also help your video in accomplishing much more visibility on YouTube. There are actually numerous number of presented videos on this website online which signifies that you may have stiff competitors on special video categories.

Workshop Format

We hope to get enough high-quality submissions to run a full-day workshop - investigating a new interdisciplinary topic requires a larger proportion of discussion than in established fields. Submissions will be presented as long talks, short talks and lightning talks (position statements of participants without papers). Each presenter gets assigned beforehand a "challenger" to stimulate a critical and constructive discussion.

Some time of the workshop is reserved for group discussion to clarify and consolidate terms, topics and goals of participants.
