In a Yahoo press release today: Prominent e-Learning Experts Launch Startup to Commercialize Breakthrough Personal Knowledge Networking Software.
STATE COLLEGE, Pa., June 28 /PRNewswire/ -- Graham Glynn, PhD, a neuroscientist and director at the Center for Learning & Academic Technologies at Penn State University, has joined with other e-learning experts to found Learning Management Solutions, a developer of personal knowledge management and personal knowledge networking software. The company's first product, KnowledgeWorkshop, allows computer users to create, manage, share and publish knowledge bases covering all aspects of their personal and professional lives.
"KnowledgeWorkshop is the glue that integrates all computer-based information sources, such as Web pages, news groups and personal computer files, into one simple personal knowledge management system," said Dr. Glynn. "KnowledgeWorkshop tackles knowledge management from the user's perspective, enabling users to categorize, structure and share information in a personally relevant way with online Web page highlighting, embedded notes and bi-directional linking. Traditional learning and knowledge management systems fall short because they're rigid, monolithic and impersonal, and focus on accessing institutionalized knowledge as opposed to creating and sharing personal knowledge."
...KnowledgeWorkshop begins shipping today, with pricing starting at $29.00 for KnowledgeWorkshop Personal and $189.00 for KnowledgeWorkshop Professional. Both versions are available for free trial download at Learning Management Solutions...
