Learning by doing, often referred to as "experiential" learning, is so incredibly powerful. This heart-warming and beautiful story reminds me of why this works so well....
Experiential learning is a key learning style that certainly appeals to a lot of people and works effectively in conjunction with other types of formal and informal learning. Like Alison I'm reading the KM module now and am interested in the formation of Communities of Practice and the impact of those networks on organisational and individual knowledge. For an example of experiential learning through communities and learner-centred training, have a look at an article I wrote that was recently published in AGR's magazine: http://content.yudu.com/Library/A3thf6/GraduateRecruiterAug/resourc... page 18, "The Value of Learner Centred Training".

I am just reading about knowledge, transfer of knowledge and knowledge conversion as part of my Knowledge Management module.
I guess Nonaka would consider this "socialisation" ie transfer of tacit knowledge from one person to another. I am only just starting to read all about it, so I have a lot to learn yet!

Hi Alison. Good to hear from you.
I love the whole knowledge sharing thing. I must admit, it was one of the "titles" of modules in my Level 5 that didn't really appeal to me on the face of it but, and a big but, when I started learning more, it became a fascinating topic and still is today. Love knowledge sharing!
Knowledge, potentially the biggest asset an organisation has?
It's early days Ady, but I have learnt that the foundations need to be well understood before you can progress with the topic. Also the terminology is used in different ways, depending upon where you look, making it tricky to grasp sometimes.
I have read around a bit about epistemology and now the very term "knowledge" brings to mind that old saying about falling timber not making a noise in the woods, unless there is someone to hear it. (Elusive eh!) Sometimes the more you think you're going to know, by doing some reading around a topic, the more you discover you don't know - yikes! Sometimes I think I shouldn't have read something and will myself to "un-know" it, to make life easier on myself!
As I say, lots to do and a long way to go yet, but so far I'm enjoying it. (Have you any tips? haha!)

Great article Kate thanks for sharing
Nice share Ady.
Another lesson from this video is that sometimes you've got to do things, make mistakes and learn as you go along.
That is a good point Blake, and it does come out from this video. :)
That's lovely Ady, thanks for sharing it.

What have you picked up so far?
