IKIT is a global network of organizations committed to the advancement of knowledge building technology and practices in all sectors of society.

The Institute for Knowledge Innovation and Technology conducts research, develops technology and helps build communities aimed at advancing beyond "best practice" in education, knowledge work, and knowledge creation. An international community from a variety of sectors is actively engaged in pooling intellectual resources and participating in projects.

BEYOND "BEST PRACTICE" IN EDUCATION AND TRAINING

More powerful theories of knowledge and expertise are needed to move education and training beyond existing best practices. On this basis, IKIT has developed a knowledge-building pedagogy that puts ideas at the center and that moves problem-based learning to a new level.

BEYOND "BEST PRACTICE" IN KNOWLEDGEWARE

Ordinary knowledgeware allows knowledge to be shared and discussed but does nothing to support essential cognitive and social processes. Knowledge ForumĀ® puts the community in charge of its own knowledge building and provides multiple supports to help it succeed.

BEYOND "BEST PRACTICE" IN KNOWLEDGE WORK

Whether in a classroom or in an office, successful knowledge building requires collective cognitive responsibility. IKIT works with partners to design practices that foster collective cognitive responsibility and at the same time avoid work overload.

BEYOND "BEST PRACTICE" IN KNOWLEDGE-BUILDING COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT

IKIT works with different public, private, professional and service organization to develop effective working relations not only within them but between them. The goal is symmetric knowledge advancement, where helping another group advance its knowledge also helps advances your own group's objectives.
