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. Resources on this topic are available at: http://www.gdrc.org/spheres/learning-lab.html

As with all sections of GDRC, contributions, comments and suggestions are always welcome from users and subscribers! Please contact GDRC's Coordinator at - mosaic@gdrc.org


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.
