Sense-making
The term personal knowledge management (PKM) isn’t about management in a business sense but rather how we can manage to make sense of information and experience in our electronic surround.
Knowledge – connecting information to experience (know what, know who, know how).
The critical part of PKM is in personalizing information and experience, or to use a business Personal – according to one’s abilities, interests & motivation (not directed by external forces).
Management – getting things done.

Social media & workplace performance matrix
Jane Hart has an excellent resource on Case Studies for Social Media & Learning in the Workplace that she keeps up to date. Much of the information comes from third-party reports so I cannot attest to its accuracy. Tags: Communities Informal Learning InternetTime SocialLearnin I’ve looked at it many times and thought that it might be easier to see the big picture as a matrix , which I’ve created as a Google Document .
Feel free to use and improve this spreadsheet.

Sense-making with PKM
We may learn on our own but usually not by ourselves. People learn socially. One is internally focused, as in “How do I learn this?” and the other is external, as in “Who can help me learn this?”.
We constantly go through a process of looking at bits of information Note: This is a revised HTML version of previous PDF’s posted on the site , which should make it easier for sharing.

New Technology Supporting Informal Learning
Abstract We often talk about games, simulations and other events in learning, but these technologies support only episodic learning. Equally important are those technologies that provide a context for these learning episodes, an environment where students and interact and converse among themselves. This paper described experimentation in the development of distributed online courses and in software - particularly, the personal learning environment This work, in turn, is suggesting and supporting the model of learning described in the first section, that of a course network supporting and informing an ever-shifting set of course episodes.

Informal learning from the horse’s mouth
Every morning, my email is littered with very basic questions about informal learning. I’ve been ranting about informal and computer-supported learning in organizations for twelve years now. I’m the Johnny Appleseed of networked, social learning

Other PKM processes
That there is a ‘best’ way to manage knowledge an information? Isn’t that what we’ve learned there isn’t ? It’s a pick-and-choose sort of thing: the way we manage information has a lot to do with the information, and a lot to do with who we are and what we want the information for. “categorizing’, Take It seems that Stephen Downes isn’t enamoured with my PKM process :
My first thought was, do I do it this way?

Creating your PKM processes
Personal knowledge management is one way of addressing the issue of TMI (too much information).
sense-making routine can be regularly reading certain blogs and news feeds, capturing important ideas with social bookmarks and then putting ideas out in the open on a blog. Categorize
Synthesize & Qualify
Use Social Bookmarks
In Sense-making with PKM I described some personal knowledge management processes using various web tools. The overall process consists of four internal actions (Sort, Categorize, Retrieve, Make Explicit) and

Formalizing informal learning?
The Entreprise Collaborative has a new question , asking whether we can formalize informal learning. To me, it’s not about formalizing informal learning so much as explicitly supporting it versus ignoring it. Like the proverbial ’stuff’, informal learning happens. I have to say, I don’t get the question. That is, I understand what they’re asking, and like the response they give, but I really think it’s the wrong question.

Informal Learning 2.0
Published in Chief Learning Officer, August 2009
Informal Learning 2.0
Corporate approaches to learning have to change, as well.

The value of social media for learning
The LCB Big Question this month is, “ How do I communicate the value of social media as a learning tool to my organization? ” We need to get data, information and knowledge quickly, and cannot wait for it to be bounced up and down a chain of command. Social networks, which are comprised of people that we trust in some way, can enable us to connect to someone who may be able to help. 8221;
Here’s my answer, bringing together several threads I’ve been thinking about.

Social learning is real
Once again, I’m learning from my colleagues, as yesterday I realized how important self-direction is in enabling social learning. Now I’m picking up on Jay’s post on Social Learning Gets Real and see how it connects to Jane’s observations. Jay has described several aspects of the future of social learning (below) and they map to the matrix (farther down) I created based on Jane’s five As Jay says:
In the past, we’ve focused on individuals but work is performed by groups.

Informal Learning Technology
There's a fantastic post by Stephen Downes - New Technology Supporting Informal Learning . In his post, he really is looking primarily at the University of Manitoba's Connectivism Course that he designed and delivered with George Siemens to 2200 students in Fall 2008 and you can tell that he's busy thinking about the technology behind the Fall 2009 course. So as you read this, keep in mind that Stephen was primarily talking about technology that can support a Formal Learning Event that heavily leverages Informal / Social Learning as it's primary mechanism. It's definitely
