Characterizing Digital Cognitive and Knowledge Strata for Knowledge Management in a Collaborative Learning Environment

摘要

The foundation of this work was hinged on four questions. The questions were: How is knowledge generated? How is generated knowledge compiled? Can compiled knowledge be shared? Can compiled knowledge be reused, reformulated or re-evaluated integrating users? These questions were considered bearing in mind their relationship with cognition. A compiled cognitive knowledge is can be used to aid in decision making and planning. A model of first order knowledge generation from second order cybernetics was proposed. Cognition was associated to knowledge measured from gradual personal knowledge expressions. Second order collaborative knowledge generation environment was used to integrate userȁ9;s cognitive dimensions to evolving knowledge generation.
