KM in Education: Defining the Landscape
By Lisa Petrides and Thad Nodine A monograph that describes the opportunities and challenges faced by those working to improve the use and sharing of information in education through practices that have come to be known as knowledge management.
"KM in Education: Defining the Landscape, a report that makes eminent sense, a wonderful combination of good intuition, practical know-how, and a feel for what might be best described as a set of emerging theories focusing on the effective management of knowledge in educational institutions. Along the way, Knowledge Management in Education supplies us with a framework for understanding how good assessment practice, in fact, depends on effective information management."

"The monograph is about the process of sharing data and information among people in order to create a broader and deeper shared understanding. Such a process is required to change fundamentally organizational behavior, to spread the implementation of useful innovations, or to develop a working consensus for action, perhaps on a difficult public policy agenda. This is far from a new idea, but we all face daily challenges in developing a shared base of data, information, and understanding. Modern technology has created both problems (information overload) and opportunities for more effective work in this domain."
