Building a community memory: Capturing knowledge creation processes in online environments. 'Working through the beaded curtain'.

摘要

How could the incorporation of a Collaborative Knowledge Evolution Support System (CKESS) into the Master of Arts in Distributed Learning (MADL) program at Royal Roads University enhance community learning? How could a modified form of a knowledge system or a living community memory be built that would serve as a permanent repository for the growth and evolution of knowledge creation within MADL and as a potential learning model for other academic programs?;Community memory as it was originally developed has evolved digitally but not in the direction that this major project is attempting to focus. Although this major project is about designing a model for the housing of and interaction with knowledge creation processes, the use of the words "community memory" well describes the house within which these processes live and this project will continue to use these words within the purview of a MADL context.
