Knowledge Translation

CIHR – “CIHR, knowledge translation (KT) is defined

as a dynamic and iterative process that includes

synthesis, dissemination, exchange and

ethically-sound application of knowledge to improve the

health of Canadians.”

Reasonable Doubts

The crisis can't be

wished away, nor

can the basic lack

of reproducibility

be whitewashed.

Criticisms…

• “research should move beyond a narrow focus on the

‘know–do gap’ to cover a richer agenda…”

- situation-specific practical wisdom (phronesis)

- tacit knowledge shared among practitioners

(‘mindlines’)

- complex links between power and knowledge; and

- macro-level knowledge partnerships

Personal vs. Personalized

• _{Compare between:}

• Personalized health care (something the National

Health Service or Health Management Organization

provides)

• _{Personal health care (something you do for yourself)}

• Personal goals versus institutional goals

Combining Experiences

One place for all learning experiences

All performance results no matter where and when

MOOC Design

• Course structure – a series of topics

• _{The instructors will not ‘teach’ the topics, they}

‘investigate’ or ‘work through’ the topics (model and

demonstrate)

How to Learn in a cMOOC

http://www.tonybates.ca/2012/03/03/m

ore-reflections-on-moocs-and-mitx/

Learning is a process of immersion into a knowing

community

(29)

How to Create a Learning

• _{It’s like creating a network}

• Don’t centralize

• Concentrate on the creation of links

We use social networks...

(30)

How to Evaluate Learning

• _{Learning is not possession of a collection of facts, it’s the}

expression of a capacity

• _{Learning is recognized by a community of experts in a}

network

We recognize our understandings…

…by the way we use them in our social network

LPSS is Built Around the Personal Learning Record

Me

This is a new type of

data – we call it the

personal graph.

Each person has their

own private personal

graph.

The PLR contains all a person’s learning

records, including:

- certificates, badges and credentials

- activity records, test results, scores

- Assignments, papers, drawings,
