Knowledge Building and Power of Collaborative Knowledge


Knowledge building is a process whereby learners go beyond just reproducing what they have learnt. It entails building knowledge and this happens when the learners use the new information or knowledge achieved and combine it with the information that they have been having, to create more Ideas and new understanding of things.

Knowledge building entails interpretation beyond the literal meaning, analysis of data and establishing relationship of the parts, synthesis relationship between ideas and evaluation of information in terms of meaning, or credibility. Knowledge building according to my understanding is as summarized in the diagram below
