“…knowledge mobilization…[is] a circulation of multiple meanings and responsibilities, in multiple directions - not just for diverse users, but also for the knowledge producers.” Fenwick, T. (2008). Considering ‘Knowledge Mobilization’ in Educational Research: What knowledge, what mobilizes, what responsibilities? Educational Insights, 12(2). www.ccfi.educ.ubc.ca/publication/insights/v12n02/articles/fenwick/index.html

“End of Grant” KMb: (curiosity-driven research): The researcher develops and implements a plan for making knowledge users aware of the knowledge generated. “Integrated” KMb (problem-based research): The researcher engages potential knowledge users as partners in the research process. Requires a collaborative or participatory approach to research that is action oriented and is solutions and impact focused. Source

K* is the collective term for the set of functions and processes at the various interfaces between knowledge, practice, and policy. K* improves the ways in which knowledge is shared and applied; improving processes already in place to bring about more effective and sustainable change. (Source)

Where did kmb come from?
• Community based research (CBR) • Community engaged scholarship (CES) • Action research/ Practioner research • University commercialization • Relationship building • little “c” communications and Big “C” communications
(push/pull) • Innovation studies • Return on investment (ROI) for tax dollars
Knowledge mobilization 101 16
• $$$ • Shared desire to solve problems • Publish research results more widely • Promotion/demonstrating its value • Strengthening scholarship • Establishing relationships before grant opportunities • Innovation • People are important

Open Access
Open access (OA) is the practice of providing unrestricted access via the Internet to peer-reviewed scholarly journal articles. • Green: authors publish in any journal and then self-archive a
version of the article for free public use in their institutional repository.
• Gold: authors publish in an open access journal that provides immediate OA to all of its articles on the publisher's website.
• Hybrid: provide Gold OA only for those individual articles for which their authors (or their author's institution or funder) pay an OA publishing fee

Presentation Notes
Twitter and blog At present, I teach and research communication, media and culture at Wilfrid Laurier University in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. My research and teaching interests cover such areas as alternative media, union communications, journalism and dissent, media coverage of economic, labour and poverty issues, and political communication, particularly in Canada and the UK, as well as the USA. My interest in these areas is not strictly speaking, ‘academic’ (if you pardon the pun), but also practical. I have experience as a media professional in radio and TV (during the reign of ‘analogue’), as well as more recent experience running media relations workshops and providing communications advice for various social, environmental and economic justice organisations. I have also worked as a media relations officer and communications advisor to a faculty union and political riding association. I believe that there is much to be learned from bringing the two areas together. Of course, I am also interested in all aspects of post-secondary/higher education, from the conditions for faculty, both contract/contingent and permanent, students (quality and costs of their education), and support staff (who ensure faculty and students can do what they do best). Clearly, the views that I express are my own and do not reflect in any way the university (or the management of the university) which employs me (and which presumes to speak for the university, which is really a community of teachers, students, managers and support staff, but that is another issue). Please feel free to follow me, if you are so inclined, on twitter: @Herbert_Pimlott . Ps. If you are interested in a slightly longer or more detailed statement about my research and teaching interests, you can visit my official university webpage at: http://www.wlu.ca/homepage.php?grp_id=612&f_id=35.

Why use online tools?

Presentation Notes
Knowledge mobilization is defined as Moving research knowledge into active service Moving this research knowledge into active service involves moving ideas, connecting researchers and people, sharing both people and ideas, as well as searching out and making the connections between ideas and people with common interests visible and transparent. Examples of how these network effects translate to research includes: Faster transfer of information than a journal publication (blog) Feedback on ideas (comments and responses) Knowing what are others in your field working on today? (twitter) Real-time conversation and network exchange (twitter) Resource sharing (blogs) Notification of when new information is shared (RSS) Ideas, people, sharing and searching are all ways to build your knowledge transfer network.

Tweeting
Presenter
Presentation Notes
SR: In a twitter post ideas flow from a researcher into the researchers’ network. In this message, the author is sharing the central idea of his recently exhibited poster, inviting a conversation about these ideas. The conversations that may have occurred at the physical poster session are opened up to those who might not have been there, or who were there and want to continue the discussion of ideas. These are twitter messages or tweets from benhazzard, a graduate student in the Faculty of Education at UWO. He uses a hashtag #CSSSE so that his tweet can be organised with other discussions about the CATE conference.

Presentation Notes
SR: The sharing of resources through a personal connection and making referrals to other sources of information shows the power of peer referral. the exchange of recommended information is a powerful feature of building your networks. PJ: As twitter messages can only be 140 characters, GardnerCampbell (show example using search in tweetdeck) using tinyurl to make his long blogpost URL, very short.
