#PKMChat 2015-07-08 Gains from College

Which knowledge, experience, best practices we gained from College, from our studies that we still use today.

For many of us, at this time of year, many years ago it was the transition from studies, learning to holidays and once it was different. School, or university was behind us and work started. The transitions could have happened at another time of year, more progressively that’s our personal story. It’s time to revisit, on a light-hearted mode our transition from recipients of formal learning to self-directed lifelong learners. What did we get from it. Was it beneficial and at wich level (Knowledge, Mind opening, network). What did we learn that we still use and why. What did we learned we didn’t realize at that time, what could we have learned better? All kind of questions we are oing to explore. Many of us got some education after 17 years old. I’m taking this limit because depending on the country and the educational system the names and age limits are confusing. Names in the education system may vary as well. In France, for example, college is what takes place before high school, around 10y old. In Germany, AFAIK, it’s organized in semesters not years as in France and education is less formal. However, the topic is NOT about our education system but more on how we transitioned our own learning processes after studies. PKMChat being about Personal Knowledge Management encompass Knowledge lifecycle in general. Our first chat was about learning, acquiring Knowledge. Our second is about sharing it. Weeks after weeks we will switch from one end of the lifecycle to another while exploring all the channels that could be used: social, formal, writing, videos.
