Dear Jim,
John Deneen is planning a meeting with you and others for the week of February
21 on open source KM capabilities.
Researching your background
to prepare for the meeting, showed your interest in
using technology to
reengineer education.
I am pretty sure SDS can play a role
in this goal, and have proposed that SRI support several initiatives to move
forward.....
- Engelbart
Scholarship competition
to foster a culture of knowledge
that transitions from the paradigm of informtion.
- Cited initially during a event at SRI on December 20, 2000 honoring
Doug for winning the National Medal of Technology.
- Discussed with
Curt Carlson
and Pat Lincoln on January 22, 2001
- Research to show
SDS improves grades
proposed to SRI on October 11,
2000, based on planning with
University of Santa Clara
on October 12,
1995.
Education plays a vital role in preparing a population for transitioning from
IT to KM. Experience doing KM over the past 15 years, shows certain skills are
needed along with better tools. Your vision to reengineer education set out in
an article published by Vision in May 1998, shows you might support this
opportunity. For example, an NSF project might be a good vehicle to support
basic research needed in this field.
Can we discuss this separately from the meeting in the venture.
Sincerely,
THE WELCH COMPANY
