Knowledge Management

Aa Aa Aa

Education is a noble mission; through the educational process the tutor transfers not only the information but also his experience. A great concern among educators is how to deliver the information and knowledge to their audience. The method educators use to deliver the information significantly affect the way the audience recall this information and the way they incorporate it into their rational. That is why knowledge management is a key target to all parties involved into the educational process.

Knowledge management is concerned with the educational methodology and creation of collective knowledge. So, if you are in the education business, you need to be oriented with the basics of management and be able to use these skills to improve your capabilities. The benefits gained by your students will be markedly boosted because they will not only be able to recall the information but also will be able to apply this information in their creation process.

A good educator is the one always updating his knowledge and that is why attending educational gatherings is of utmost importance. Among this year's educational conferences an Innovation & Knowledge Management Conference will be held in South Africa, Johannesburg from the 25 - 27th of May 2011. The conference will be discussing these issues and give you a chance to exchange practical experiences with other educators as well. Also if you have some innovative ideas of your own there is still time for you to submit an abstract before the deadline at May 6th, 2011.

For more details about the conference please Visit the website at:
