Knowledge Sharingand Collaboration
• Elementary through College levels• Professional domains• Concept-Maps on diverse topics
“Return to Mars 2000” Project
Capture NASA’s Mars experts’ domain knowledge into browsable concept maps that will be made available to high-school students, and to the public, on a CD and on the Web
Dr. Geoff Briggs, DirectorCenter for Mars Exploration at NASA Ames
Web Work
Reporting
Executive summaries
“Cut-to-the-chase” presentation of information
Performance Support and
Embedded Training
Fusion of:
Training
Performance Support
Distance Learning
Expertise is made available anytime, anywhere
El-Tech: Demonstration SystemModels the knowledge of an expert technician
• Rule-based system to help the technician with diagnostic tasks
• Network-enabled to allow access to up-to-date information and to experts
• Highly interactive, based upon elicited knowledge of expert technicians
• Tightly coupled with the Training/pedagogical component
Potential Benefits
More effective classroom training More effective distance learning Continuous learning -- even while deployed Reduced length of “A” and “C” schools Enhanced Officer training Less time away from home between deployments Reach-back capability for deployed forces Potential for reduced manning
Consultation in NUCES
Knowledge Management
Thailand National Knowledge BaseDemonstration Project
Knowledge preservation on a national scale
NASA Lewis Research Center
• Senior Engineers' knowledge of launch vehicle systems integration
• Browsable, multimedia model of the experts’ domain knowledge of the system
Centaur/RL-10 rocket system
NIMA / METOC Project
Evaluation of Methods of Cognitive Work Analysis
Application of the Principles of Human-Centered computing
Capture and preservation of local meteorology knowledge
Knowledge Recovery
• A great deal of expert knowledge has already
been elicited in diverse projects
• Yet it resides in places and in formats that
make it inaccessible and minimally useful
(e.g., archived text)
Through collaboration in the construction of knowledge models
Problem Solving
(Brainstorming* & Knowledge Discovery*)
* Hard to do * Hard to prove
What is astrobiology?
Policy-Making
Conclusions
Facilitation of learning at all ages
New format for instructional and assessment materials
Interfaces for Performance Support Systems and
Instructional Systems
New approach to web navigation
Knowledge elicitation method and product
