Discussion
8 Eden Conference, Naples, 16th June 2007
our starting point
¢ a set of strong, converging and remarkably popular concepts and memesl connectivism
• by G. Siemens, 2004, a theoretical frameworkfor e-learning
l Lifelong Learning• a continuous beat coming from the EU zone
l web 2.0• and further
l empowerment though“individual” knowledge
¢ our in vivo educators’ experiencel teaching Instructional Designl Ph.D. theses management

connectivism means …
10 Eden Conference, Naples, 16th June 2007
lifelong learning means…
¢ «… the true competence for a lifelong learner of the Knowledge Society is the capability to “stay connected” and “belong” to digital communities where interests are and can be continuously shared. »

and we all experience this…
13 Eden Conference, Naples, 16th June 2007
about PKM: why
¢ �knowledge is a key asset in our society, hence it should be a strong personalconcern
¢ personal knowledge, through interaction and sharing across members of a community, is the basis of an individual’s effectiveness
¢ need to re-assess the concepts of knowledge worker/knowledge learner/knowledge citizenl affected by a storm of new technologiesl violently stressed by information gigantism
14 Eden Conference, Naples, 16th June 2007
we all know this …
15 Eden Conference, Naples, 16th June 2007
PKM: what
¢ born in the university environmentl 1999: UCLA Anderson School of Managementl 2000-2002: Millikin University (prof. Dorsey)
• «Personal knowledge management is best viewed as based on a set of problem solving skills that have both a logical or conceptual as well as physical or hands-on component. »(Dorsey)
¢ a great opportunityl many tools with a lot of creativityl an unprecedented chance to fascinate our
students and “buy them in”¢ Today
l a wider scope than just academiesl also:“enterprise” PKM

question
¢ can we frame a working model supporting lifelong-learning objectivesand skill acquisition within the scope of connectivism and against the web 2.0 background?
19
The Reference Model
20 Eden Conference, Naples, 16th June 2007
a knowledge flow concept
¢ how to drive the learning activitiesl 4 stagesl moving around in stepsl role of “enabling conditions”

Conclusion & future outlook
31 Eden Conference, Naples, 16th June 2007
conclusion
¢ a Reference Model has been proposed to be used in the instructional design and in the implementation of learning activities
¢ the Model is complemented and illustrated by a sample scenario showing how PKM skills can be acquired
¢ we argue that the stages and the processes contained in the Model can become a mental habit of the lifelong learner when accessing resources and building relations during formal/informal e-learning experiences
32 Eden Conference, Naples, 16th June 2007
future outlook
¢ demonstrate that application of our Model will drive the learner to dynamically build an effective “personal learning environment” in which technological tools are functional to the construction of knowledge in a negotiable and adaptable space
33 Eden Conference, Naples, 16th June 2007
Q & A …
¢ our questions…
l Technology. Do you believe that current (web) technology is adequately supporting personal knowledge management?
l Society. Is it true that people in need of instruction may find a response outside the Institution walls much more than within?
¢ and your ☺ questions please …
