online training for journalist- web2fordev

Posting a post from Ethan Zucker about Web 2.0fordev Conference in Rome where I spoke on online training for journalists - Kwami Ahiabenu, II from the International Institute for ICT in Journalism (PenPlusBytes) in Accra, Ghana, makes a persuasive case for the importance of basic tools in online education. His team offers free online trainings for journalists on how to incorporate IT into their journalistic practice and better use IT tools for reporting. The courses are offered via email, and while they encourage the use of fairly complex online tools, they’re accessible to anyone who can participate in the email lists, which helps explain their popularity with users throughout Africa, and as far away as Bangladesh and Australia. see full post at http://www.ethanzuckerman.com/blog/2007/09/28/if-theyre-speaking-italian/

blogs as a tool for monitoring

At the recent Web 2.0 workshop for editors , met the Deputy of Daily Graphic he had this great idea: ensuring all journalists create personal blog and it would be mandatory for them to post all their stories they write for the Graphic. this personal blog posting becomes a one stop shop for monitoring quality and quantity of stories over any given period of time. This is a cool idea because currently not all stories make it to the graphic website, so the blogs would cover this gap

Online learning is here to stay and the increasingly availability of Web 2.0 tools will making e-learning experience more rewarding though some challenges exist. Making a case for online training of Journalists in Africa, Kwami Ahiabenu II from the International Institute for ICT Journalism (PenPlusBytes) observed that online training was going to become dominant means of training and that there was need to invest time and energy to ensure that it becomes part of a capacity building projects and programmes application.

Philology

learnt this word philology today, thought is was the wrong spelling of philosophy kuul Philology , etymologically , is the "love of words." It is most accurately defined as "an affinity toward the learning of the backgrounds as well as the current usages of spoken or written methods of human communication." The commonality of studied languages is more important than their origin or age, though those factors are important as well. The term is derived from the Greek terms philos (Φιλος) meaning love and logos (λογος) meaning word. In a sense, to understand a language, philology seeks to understand the origins of that language, and so it is often defined as "the study of ancient texts and languages," although this is a rather narrow view and is entirely inaccurate.

What is concept mapping?

Concept mapping, mind mapping, tree diagrams, organisation charts, spider diagrams are all terms used to describe graphical organisation methods. These are used for storing, processing, organising and presenting information graphically. A number of software packages are available which help draw these diagrams and output them in various forms. But what do these terms mean? Why are these mapping techniques useful? Who uses them and why are they so popular? A concept map is a diagram where each node contains an idea, concept or question which are linked together by branches to show their relationship to each other. A concept map does not always have to take the form of a web they can be presented as a tree diagram or organisational chart, as an input or output tree or as a flow chart. Mind mapping is a distinct technique from concept mapping. Mind maps take a particular, prearranged web form. They were developed from psychological theories by Tony Buzan in the 1970s.

Speaking Web2fordev Conference

Speaking at Web2fordev Conference www.web2fordev.net on “Empowering journalists with online tools: making a case for online training” Abstract and description There is no doubt that journalists and the media needs urgent training in online tools in order to ride the tide with the information revolution. Unfortunately the cost of training of journalists remains high in context of resources and time. One solution to this challenge is designing and implementing low to free online training for journalists in online tools. The key advantage of this option is that journalists are going to be using the very tool they are learning about in their online class plus they do not need to take leave from work. The International Institute for ICT Journalism (penplusbytes) is implementing an online course for journalists in a wide range of topics including knowledge management for the newsroom, blogging and web 2.0. This case study shows and tells how the various online tools were used

Measuring Knowledge Management

So now that my company has decided to embark on a Knowledge Management (KM) path the inevitable question is: How do you measure success of the KM program? From the research I have done there seems to be no easy answers. The main issues are: KM is a soft subject, it enables many different activities within a Professional Services organization but is not directly responsible for these activities. Direct impact of KM on hard metrics such as Profitability, Resource Utilization, Resource Productivity, Margin etc are hard to attribute directly to KM, as any number of factors can influence these areas. Collection of metrics can prove to be just as difficult as determining the appropriate metrics. From the research I’ve done and conversations with my Board and other individuals I’ve come up with a categorized system of metrics. Indirect: These are metrics that KM has some degree of impact on but cannot be directly and solely attributed to KM activities. Such metrics include, Year over Year

Banking Transactional Convergence : A case study of electronic payment systems in Ghana

Kwami Ahiabenu,II The advent of electronic payment system has led many to predict it will become a predominate means of payment overcoming traditional means of payment as leaders in global payment system. Literature points to the fact that the electronic payment is quite ubiquitous in developed countries but in developing countries such as Ghana this phenomenon is relatively very new.

The study proposes measures that can improve the current payment system on one hand and it also assessed the prospects of introducing electronic payment system in Ghana .

What are Communities of Practice (Networks)

Communities of practice( often abbreviated as CoP) - Networks of people who work together in an organization and who regularly share information and knowledge - are communities of people who share the same profession, situation, or vocation and their goal to share information and knowledge is the glue that holds them together - In organizational development (OD) concept of a community of practice refers to the process of social learning that occurs when people who have a common interest in some subject or problem collaborate to share ideas, find solutions, and build innovations. CoP is crucial to the success of any knowledge management strategy. As the communities of practice go through a series of stages in their evolution, they provide the platform for knowledge exchange. see 1.Knowledge Management - Keys to Successful Communities of Practice (Networks) http://tinyurl.com/2ags3l 2.
