THIS MONTH'S SPOTLIGHT: Learning Lab
from GDRC's Programme on Knowledge Management,
ICTs and Information Design
What is a Learning Lab? It is a place where different
aspects of the learning process is analyzed and studied.
It looks at the entire life-cycle of information
management, from collection and analysis, to
presentation, use and updating of information.
Recognizing the importance of this need, GDRC
interlinked the three programmes under its Information
Sphere (Knowledge Management, Information Design, and
ICTs) to form a 'Learning Lab'
For GDRC, the Learning Lab represents a critical skill
that we all have to posses to be able to use the right
form of technology to present information in the right
format, in order to manage knowledge properly.
GDRC has been working on these and related issues.

FOCUS ON GDRC: LEARNING LESSONS
New Wine in Old Bottles …
Turning the well-known saying "Old wine in new bottles" on its
head, information management at the GDRC has highlighted
the importance of "New wine in old bottles".
This means that it becomes increasingly important for
us to be able to see old issues from new perspectives.
Or provide new information, skills and lessons for
old problems people are still grappling with.
It also means finding new ways of identifying and
implementing action to solve old problems/shortcomings.
