In response to Michael Neubauer, "a wise man knows what he knows, and he knows what he does not know." I respectfully disagree with your topic disucussion. Knowledge capture is not the acquiring of new knowledge on top of already known knowledge. Knowledge capture is having a base knowledge of a topic that can be discussed and even argued. When new knowledge is to be gained, it is not replacing what was learned; it is questioned and challenged. If giving a presentation on your ideas and knowledge, you need to be able to understand your methodology, concepts used, the difficulties encountered, the short-comings of your own data collection, lessons learned, and your recommendations. In business, I often conducted a "post-mortem" which is the same process I just described. That then becomes knowledge-capture which can effectively be used when encountering new information. I am currently working on my Ph.D. in Distance Education entering a new field after working in corporation!
s for thirty years. This new information is at times overwhelming, but, as I read the texts, I note the repetition and the twist of ideas formulated by earlier researchers. Rather than taking an author's claim, I now review those researchers he or she cites. Kaylyn AndersonAnderson Tech-Write, President
