The Knowledge Management Education Forum (KMEF) continues Tuesday, April 26 with a webinar featuring Denise Bedford starting at 12:00pm EDT (http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?iso=20110426T12&p1=179). The KM Education Forum webinars are addressing four key questions related to the profession of knowledge management, including: roles and responsibilities, professional competencies, curriculum and learning paths and opportunities. Dr. Denise Bedford, Goodyear Professor of Knowledge Management at Kent State University will highlight the common ground presented over the KMEF webinar series in preparation for the 2-day free KMEF conference at George Washington University, May 5 and 6. Over the past six weeks, we've heard from thought leaders in Knowledge Management on four questions: What strategic roles and responsibilities do Knowledge Professionals play in organizations? What competencies do knowledge professionals need to lead knowledge organizations in the 21st century? What are the core and elective elements of a knowledge management curriculum for the 21st century? And, how can we support these competencies in professional training, at the certificate level, at the master's and Ph.d. levels? The webinars have indicated that there is a high level of agreement among the experts. The purpose of this presentation is to highlight the common ground, and to present the common ground as a foundation for Knowledge Management education.

Archived Webinar, April 12 Knowledge management is relatively a new field and still evolving. It emerged over the last two decades as a result of the advances in communication and information technologies, globalization and the emergence of the knowledge economy. As knowledge increasingly becoming a key strategic resource, the need to develop better understanding of knowledge processes and practices are becoming critical. Knowledge management can be viewed from different perspectives (technical and non-technical) and can be associated with many other disciplines like computer science, library science, management and psychology. The development of knowledge management as a discipline and as a profession will take time due to cultural, intellectual and economical forces. In this presentation we will discuss the evolution of KM as a discipline and talk about the efforts to create programs for studying, researching and learning KM processes and practices. We will talk about the opportunities and challenges facing such programs. More information about the presentation, access information, and presentation slides are available on Tuesday’s webinar page: http://kmatkent.cim3.net/wiki/KMEF-webinar_2011-04-12.
