Freely sharing and facilitating community knowledge is part of my DNA as it for many colleagues in the nonprofit technology field. In those days, we used listservs and online discussion software, but platform matter. It was the free and open sharing of knowledge, insights, quick tips, and how-tos. Photo by Dkurpaptwa.
The Chronicle of Philanthropy , Nonprofit Times , Social Innovation Review , and Nonprofit Quarterly are a few industry specific publications that are considered "go to" sources of knowledge. The ASU Lodestar Center Nonprofit News (LCNN) is a free source of information sent to your inbox bi-monthly, and it's stuffed with knowledge and tools.
It is a visual collaboration tool that you can use online and it is something that I have been dreaming about for ten years. I resisted the urge because I wasn't collaborating with anyone on this post and I just needed to do some quick solo visual thinking so I used my snagit program. memory lapses, had forgotten it.
Ever since, our paths have crossed several times in nonprofit technology circles online, most recently via the Digital Divide Network listserv and the online forums at TechSoup. It focused on collaborative e-learning. A premise for this work is that we need to be better at working collaboratively???whether
Collaboration on student projects or other ways. You can think of it as having 24/7 access to another users filing cabinet, but each user's collection of bookmarks helps to build an rich knowledge network. Create collaborative, student-authored resources. Think of wikis of a good tool to collect information or knowledge.
The online group includes a listserv email archive, a library, a wiki, a group blog, and a discussion thread platform. Groups will also have the option to hold a monthly discussion call for questions, feedback and knowledge-sharing among members. How will the CoP members interact? Are monthly webinars or calls required of a CoP?
FIRM has built a social media infrastructure that links together our blog, social network presence, listserv and static website into a coherent network of tools. Now that FIRM has built stuff, learned stuff, we have to share that knowledge in a comprehensive and useful way. Like the new pro-migrant community blog, the Sanctuary.
While there are some criticisms of its consensus-based model for information-vetting, there's no doubt of its success as a collaborativeknowledge-creation project. After all, if Wikipedia could succeed as a collaborative documentation of well, everything, isn't your specific wiki bound to thrive as well?
And my mission is really to educate and empower nonprofit leaders and their teams with the knowledge and tools to scale their revenue and amplify their impact. They’re collaborative, they’re passionate about your mission. So feel free to get on our mailing listserv or whatever the real phrase is called and stay in touch.
And I think another important component is knowledge. If you are able to collaborate, if you have good relationships with different partners, I think that that’s wonderful. And so do you have that sort of squared away on the roles and responsibilities and the processes? . So that’s great. So thanks for sharing that.
The artifacts are reaccessioned, the labels (hopefully) recycled, but what happens to the knowledge? NSF requires grant applicants to build on prior knowledge--where do you get it? I like the idea that this can be a place both for people who are collaborating and know each other well and for new relationships to form.
This spectator effect means that the online forums don’t just provide direct support—they create growing bodies of knowledge about products. Many of us use listservs to get answers to our museum-related questions and find out what others are doing. There's also the opportunity to use forums and other tools for industry support.
