My experience from the class Activity

This experience was exciting for me, because it was a new way of working in a group with the use of blogs. it was a different approach to work with group members, trying to understand the concept of each step that was taking in the achieving the goal. I learnt how to use a blog effectively while working with other people in a group. it was kind of challenging for me, cause knowing that my effort and contribution to the group was vital.

With the use of technology, people can work together from different parts of the world. Distance and time are know longer barriers to why people can't share ideas and opinions.

My self efficacy really improve, i feel that i am more capable of working together in groups with the use of technology. I have more confidence and belief that i can work in groups from any where around the world.

overall it was a good experience, because it was a new approach we took, i heard to continuously Motivate my self to work hard with the group, because of the grade. our grades for the project was base on how good our blog was. so the grades motivated me to work harder.

second sprint, my role

My role: As a Test Programmer to make sure that the website works well. my job is to monitor the blogs, to make sure they are all functioning.

if there are any difficulties in uploading our blogs, then we cant work as a team to achieve our goal.

so i have to make sure that nobody is having any slot of problem in uploading their blog.

the websites need to function.

knowledge sharing

Knowledge sharing is an activity through which knowledge (i.e information, skills, or expertise) is exchanged among people, friends, or member of a family, a community or an organization (Wolfensohn 1996). Over the years advancements in Information and Communication Technology (ICT), like many other disciplines, have revolutionized the education sector by opening new avenues of learning and knowledge sharing. One of the goals of many knowledge management (KM) projects is to support and/or increase knowledge sharing (Teece, 2000). While on the surface this is both a sensible and desirable goal, in practice it is often in effective. This briefing explores some of the issues with the goal of ‘knowledge sharing’, and proposes an alternative approach that can be applied to knowledge management projects. The first challenge is to define what ‘knowledge sharing’ means in practice. On the face of it, the meaning is self-obvious: to encourage the sharing of knowledge or information between members of staff within an organization (Stiglitz, 1999).

An important factor in the successful collaborative learning is the active and voluntarily sharing of information among students. Such knowledge exchanges help students answer questions, solve problems, learn new things, increase understanding regarding a particular subject, or merely acts as a means to help one another (Hogberg and Edvinsson, 1998). These exchanges could be in the form of explicit knowledge (also known as information) which can be captured and documented, and the tacit knowledge in the form of skills and competencies.
