Description
Carla O'Dell, a "mother" of knowledge management once noted, "if only we knew what we know."  Most of us are being deluged by information, but we have no way of holding on to and organizing the information that would serve us well in the future.  As a result, we misplace or forget a lot of the information that might have served us well in the future if we could just remember it.   Personal knowledge management (PKM) is probably the most important skill in today's information-deluged world that you were never exposed to in school (at any level).  We all practice some kind of PKM, even if only by sticking files in a directory on our computer that we never end up looking at again. Personal knowledge management software tools can deliver substantial personal and professional benefits, and quite a few of them exist. This course focuses on just one, TheBrain software, one of the simplest yet most flexible and powerful PKM tools available to you. And the FREE version may be all you'll ever need! In the course you’ll get introduced to the importance of and the literature surrounding PKM. You'll see some of the many ways that TheBrain software is being used for personal knowledge management by individuals and organizations. And you'll see how easy to use and powerful TheBrain software is. The course is intended for anyone from high school on up interested in utilizing personal knowledge management to be more productive in their personal and professional lives.
