Description

Carla O'Dell, a "mother" of knowledge management once noted, "if only we knew what we know."  Most of us are being deluged by information, but we have no way of holding on to and organizing the information that would serve us well in the future.  As a result, we misplace or forget a lot of the information that might have served us well in the future if we could just remember it.  

Personal knowledge management (PKM) is probably the most important skill in today's information-deluged world that you were never exposed to in school (at any level).  We all practice some kind of PKM, even if only by sticking files in a directory on our computer that we never end up looking at again.

Personal knowledge management software tools can deliver substantial personal and professional benefits, and quite a few of them exist. This course focuses on just one, TheBrain software, one of the simplest yet most flexible and powerful PKM tools available to you. And the FREE version may be all you'll ever need!

In the course you’ll get introduced to the importance of and the literature surrounding PKM. You'll see some of the many ways that TheBrain software is being used for personal knowledge management by individuals and organizations. And you'll see how easy to use and powerful TheBrain software is.

The course is intended for anyone from high school on up interested in utilizing personal knowledge management to be more productive in their personal and professional lives.

I have used TheBrain app for more than 20 years for my personal PKM, but I still have learned some new powers in this course. The application of predefined searches is a powerful technique that I haven't seen applied in other areas. Although the time commitment to this course is relatively short, it packs in a great amount of information about climate change, just in the demonstration. The contribution of all this information by Mark Trexler, including the download of the Climate Search Engine for addition to my own TheBrain, is a tremendous contribution to the pursuit of saving mankind from mass climate afflictions.

This course is an excellent intro to PKM (Personal Knowledge Management) with TheBrain software. I've been using the pro-version of TheBrain for many years, but there is one feature I missed, and that's using pre-set search terms. That alone made this course worthwhile for me (and was the reason for buying the course). Thanks, Mark, for pointing that out. Also, I'm looking forward to the new lectures coming up in the next little while.

This course isn't (and doesn't pretend to be) a how-to on using The Brain software. Instead, it provides a good intro to the capabilities of The Brain and the various ways you can put it to use, within the broader context of knowledge management.
