Dr.T.V.Rao MD @ TMC Kollam India 2
3. Changing Concepts in
Communication• Systems of
communication have
evolved and matured,
from those oral traditions
to the earliest cuneiform
writings and all the way
up through books and
newspapers, to radio and
television
•WWW Dr.T.V.Rao MD @ TMC Kollam India 3
4. Internet Changes world of Sharing
•Today, the avenues
available to our quest
to gain and share
knowledge are
boundless, but I’d like
to share with you my
own personal
favourites.
Dr.T.V.Rao MD @ TMC Kollam India 4
5. WEB 2.0 changes the World of Learning
•“Web 2.0 enhances the
discovery and
manipulation of
information … by
building virtual
applications … in which
users participate”. Social
bookmarking, a web-
based service to save and
share electronic
resources, Dr.T.V.Rao MD @ TMC Kollam India 5
6. Knowledge sharing
•Knowledge Sharing is an
activity through which
knowledge (i.e.,
information, skills, or
expertise) is exchanged
among people, friends,
families, communities
(e.g., Wikipedia), or
organization
Dr.T.V.Rao MD @ TMC Kollam India 6
7. Web-based teaching materials
•Web-based teaching
materials are a subset of
computer-based training
(CBT) or electronic
learning (eLearning) used
to leverage the World
Wide Web for the
delivery to instructional
materials.
Dr.T.V.Rao MD @ TMC Kollam India 7
8. Knowledge Management Systems
Support Knowledge sharing
• Organizations have
recognized that knowledge
constitutes a valuable
intangible asset for creating
and sustaining competitive
advantages. Knowledge
sharing activities are
generally supported by
knowledge management
systems.
Dr.T.V.Rao MD @ TMC Kollam India 8
9. Web-based teaching
•To post course materials, which may include
text files, photographs, video and audio
clips, animations, etc.;
•To create opportunities for communication
between teachers and learners by means of
forums, e-mails and chat rooms;
Dr.T.V.Rao MD @ TMC Kollam India 9
10. Designing of a Moodle course
• Design the course as you wish
or need. The designing of a
Moodle course means designing
the course environment, adding
necessary tools and materials to
the course, and fixing the
settings of the course. Should
problems or questions arise,
please turn to the
educational technologist of
your faculty.
Dr.T.V.Rao MD @ TMC Kollam India 10
11. Many matters remain in Designing Knowledge
• Start managing your course.
Managing of a course causes the
manager (lecturer/faculty, a
department) no financial
expenses. Moodle can be
implemented in teaching full-
time and Open University degree
courses as well as in offering
continuing education, and as
suitable environment for
projects and workshops.
Dr.T.V.Rao MD @ TMC Kollam India 11
12. Sharing knowledge is a Challenge
•The sharing of knowledge
constitutes a major
challenge in the field of
knowledge management
because some employees
tend to resist sharing
their knowledge with the
rest of the organization
Dr.T.V.Rao MD @ TMC Kollam India 12
13. HOW I MADE IT
My love for Technology
Dr.T.V.Rao MD @ TMC Kollam India 13
14. The simple beginning
•Just writing a little of my knowledge on
•www.articleset.com
•www.articlesbase.com
•Many views encouraging,
•A long lecture many do not followed by many
want to review my talk, A marathon lecture on
Antibiotics, teaches me better
•Just uploaded on www.slieshare.comDr.T.V.Rao MD @ TMC Kollam India 14
15. More Encouragement
•People asking me to
write more on many
websites
•Just started contributing
to
•www.slideworld.org
•www.scribd.com
•www.authourstream.com
•www.docstock .com Dr.T.V.Rao MD @ TMC Kollam India 15
16. What I realised
•In today’s world,
eLearning is an
important part of
learning and
training
employees/
students.
Dr.T.V.Rao MD @ TMC Kollam India 16
17. What are my challenges
•One of the biggest challenges in course
design is creating a course consistent with
the organization’s learning objectives. Often
courses are built around fuzzy objectives
where the expected outcome isn’t quite
clear. Another issue is that the course
doesn’t end up meeting the objectives.
Dr.T.V.Rao MD @ TMC Kollam India 17
18. Best way to Improve our talents on
WORLD WIDE WEB
•One of the best ways to
build good eLearning is
to get close to those who
are going to take the
courses. This is because
they often understand
the content in a different
way than the
organization does.
Dr.T.V.Rao MD @ TMC Kollam India 18
19. To be partner – to boost to my career
• Joining editorial member on www.medmicrobes.com
• One of the best portals created by Dr.Sudheer kher and Dr.Ekta
to be part web site, contributing to majority of topics on Post
graduate MD Microbiology course
• To date more than 650 topics created on this site,
I have made it
• No commercial interests at any path of work
• Most post graduates students and teachers benefited with
skills in making the Microbiology, can learn with a click of
Mouse
Dr.T.V.Rao MD @ TMC Kollam India 19
21. What skills are Needed to Share
•Articulation: The ability of the user to define
what he needs.
•Awareness: Awareness of the knowledge
available. The provider is encouraged to
make use of directories, maps, corporate
yellow pages, etc.
•Access: Access to the knowledge.
Dr.T.V.Rao MD @ TMC Kollam India 21
22. Complete what you mean to say
• Completeness: Access to both
centrally managed and self-
published knowledge. The
former is often more scrutinized
but takes longer to publish and
is not as hands-on (and
potentially relevant). Self-
published information on the
other hand runs the risk of not
being as reliable.
Dr.T.V.Rao MD @ TMC Kollam India 22
23. The Age of Visual Culture
•We live in the age of the
“camera in everyone’s
pocket” and with more
than 2.5 billion camera
phones in use we are
entering a new dynamic
era around image
creation and content
Dr.T.V.Rao MD @ TMC Kollam India 23
24. Use an online service for slide sharing
• There are several good online
services for sharing (and even
creating) slide-based
presentations. Slideshare.net is
one of the first and most mature
and like Zoho and the others
allows you to import/upload your
PowerPoint (or Keynote)
presentations to be converted to
their own sharing format.
Dr.T.V.Rao MD @ TMC Kollam India 24
25. I get my feed back and Try to Correct and
Revise
• Distance learning involves
interaction at a distance
between instructor and learners,
and enables timely instructor
reaction to learners. Simply
posting or broadcasting learning
materials to learners is not
distance learning. Instructors
must be involved in receiving
feedback from learners.
Dr.T.V.Rao MD @ TMC Kollam India 25
26. E-Learning creation with optimism
•E-Learning
• It is not a cup of web pages! It is a
complex learning environment!
• We need a possibility
professionally to create our
learning materials.
• We need a professional attitude ,
which is compliment with all e-
learning relevant standards.
• We need money ? NO
peoples! support
• And lot of optimism
Dr.T.V.Rao MD @ TMC Kollam India 26
27. What is the future of online sharing?
•I think it is something
that is never really going
to slow down. Social
sharing is only growing in
speed and power and we
see it everyday in the
headlines throughout our
global news sources.
Dr.T.V.Rao MD @ TMC Kollam India 28
28. Think Before Sharing the Contents
• Take the time to think
about how you share your
content online. Do you take
a community driven
approach or do you just
move around your own
content? Sharing is caring
so show your audience and
your peers that you are
somewhat a team player.
Dr.T.V.Rao MD @ TMC Kollam India 29
29. Conflicts of Interests in Sharing
•Systems based on
extrinsic rewards quickly
turn moral obligation into
acts of self-interest, and
could potentially destroy
the open provisioning of
knowledge in a
community” (Wasko &
Faraj 2000: 170).
