Other Knowledge Sharing Toolkits and Resources

Introduction

What are some of the good knowledge sharing toolkits and resources that are available? Particularly ones useful in development?

Keywords

knowledge_sharing, toolkits, resources, methods

Detailed Description

Often we are asked to point to or provide a nice, concise set of KS methods in the form of a toolkit. A number of these exist, so we thought it would be a good idea to share our favorites here. Please post a link, stories of toolkits in use and your evaluation of the resources.

KM4Dev Discussions

[Summary of the discussions on the KM4Dev list which provided source material. People who contributed to the discussions are cited at the end of the section in italics: "The following members of the KM4Dev community contributed to the discussion thread on ...: XY (launched the discussion), ...]

Examples in Application

How we developed the GGIAR KS Toolbox: The toolbox was one of the expected results of the KS project led by CIAT for the CGIAR during 2004 and 2005. The project was developed through pilot projects in different CGIAR centers. We spend a lot of efforts in documenting the pilot activities (through video, journalistic input, photos, and multimedia). The pilot leaders got knowledgeable about the KS approaches they used in their activities. That is how and why we structured the toolbox in the following section: the tool, a definition, how it works, stories illustrating the use of the tool, people in the CG who used the tool and can be contacted.

The toolbox now needs update and more dissemination. It is not used as much as we would like. One additional idea is to use the toolbox as a resource in our engagement and collaboration with our partners. Indeed the KS project will start a second phase right now and includes a new component on KS in research.
