Paper Abstract:
|
Using a case study about on-line training drawn from the Collaborative and Network Distributed Learning Environment
Project (CANDLE EU IST 5th Framework:2000-2003), this paper examines the issues involved in transferring knowledge
between Higher Education Institutions and Large, Medium and Small Enterprises. It analyses the views of the course
designers and SME learners before going on to discuss the distinction between theoretical and practical knowledge
that arose in the case study. It concludes by employing ideas from Activity Theory to evaluate a brokerage model of
knowledge transfer used in the case study, and considers the models wider implications for the transition from formal to
functional knowledge in the context of digital technology. |
