We have just finished a three part series in #PKMChat were we unpacked Personal Knowledge Management (PKM) and Working Out Loud (WOL). We finished by chatting about how you would introduce these concepts to someone who has never heard of them and asking if anyone had ever mentored someone in either PKM or WOL. In this week’s chat we build on this and talk about mentoring someone in PKM. Next week we will talk about mentoring someone in WOL.
PKM is about managing personal knowledge. We have previously defined it as a collection of processes used to gather, classify, store, make sense of, search, retrieve and share knowledge.
“Mentoring is a relationship in which a more experienced or more knowledgeable person helps to guide a less experienced or less knowledgeable person. The mentor may be older or younger than the person being mentored, but she or he must have a certain area of expertise.”
We will discuss this topic from both the point of view of a mentor and a mentee. Adopting each perspective brings different insights, and will be valuable in informing us about how to get the most of being on either side of a PKM mentoring relationship.
As a start point, here are some points made in our last chat about how people would introduce PKM and wol to someone who has never heard of them.
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. Week 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.
