Course Description
Do you find it increasingly challenging to keep up with the latest insights, issues, best practices and changes in your field? As the growth in the volume and complexity of knowledge accelerates, it’s easy to lose ground. If you are still Googling to know what’s going on, it’s probably time you started tapping into, and contributing to, all the collective wisdom online in a more efficient and personalised way.

Would you like to stay on top of current thinking in your field in only fifteen minutes a day, three times a week? We all need a better way to stay current and to manage our information flows. The innovations available to us, mostly for free, in what is known as “web 2.0” or the “next net” can help tremendously. This course will introduce you to some of the latest technologies and tools for accessing relevant information and managing your personal knowledge base, and will teach you how to use them in your own life to create a richer, faster, higher-yield learning process.

Incorporating what you learn about web 2.0 into your professional practice will position you to be more effective and competitive in your career, and more competent and effective as an organizational leader, peer resource, or Subject Matter Expert. Be the go-to guru who works smarter!

• Get familiar with web 2.0 phenomena like RSS readers, wikis, blogs, communities of practice, podcasts, social networks, and targeted personal knowledge-sharing resources.
• This one-day course will change the way you think and operate, will save you hours every week, and will help to make you the most informed and up to date professional among your peers.
