Week 11- Building Knowledge
LECTURE NOTES
This weeks lecture was about the characteristics and importance of data, information, knowledge and wisdom. The lecture began with a pop quiz and from there we continued with the definitions of the above words and so forth. In summary-
Data- is non judgemental, transient information.
Information- Is informative data that relates. It is summerative and has uncertain value.
Knowledge- Is what has been 'perceived' and learned through experience
Wisdom- Is understanding their own knowledge.
TUTORIAL
This weeks tutorial was to convey our own understandings of data, information, knowledge and wisdom through a serious of tasks.
Workshop
1a. Definitions
Data- Raw valid information without meaning. Therefore, non- judgemental or bias.
Information- Relational facts that have meaning.
Knowledge- The foundation of wisdom. Understanding what is gained through study or experiences. A judgemental, subjective understanding of what is known.
Wisdom- Soundness of judgement. A collection of knowledge.
2.
3.
Knowing about the processes of; data, information, knowledge and wisdom can most easily be recognised as a process of understanding. Data is the foundation to wisdom and information and knowledge are the steps in between. As a university student we are constantly being introduced to new ideas and new topics to research. These four steps are the keys to understanding. Understanding this relationship means as a topic or idea progresses we are able to follow the steps of progression until we feel comfortable enough to say we know everything to know about that particular idea/topic.
4.
Gaining information on a product, service or opinion allows organisations to plan, adapt and change factors that could possible decrease the succession of their services and profit.
AB Nielson collects information about when a show is watched, this allows television networks to follow the trends in shows and time slots that are most popular amongst the public. By doing this the Television Networks can potentially gain more viewers by adapting their television shows and times, which allows them to optimise there success in the competitive Television industry.
SGIO Insurance Company collects information from their clientele on their driving history, claim history and on any other previous accidents. This allows the insurance company to apply fair insurance covers (to each customer) to maintain the company’s profit.
“YouGov polling” is a company that collects statistics from the Australia population to provide information and summaries to political parties and the public on likely voting patterns in different electorates.
Emergency Services:St John Of God Ambulance-
Asking questions about medical history and current medication allows paramedics to make correct diagnoses and administer the correct service to a patient. Without this information being made available potential problems could be created and a patients life being put in further danger.
Police-
The Police collect information so that they can have an understanding of what the publics opinions are on particular ideas and laws. This is also applicable to new road rules, this helps to minimise potential problems and keep the public safe.
Reading 1- Data, Information, Knowledge, and Wisdom
This reading was defining and understanding the above words. Using examples i was able to appreciate the connection between each word. As stated before data is the foundation to knowledge and as we become more educated about a topic we become more wise.
Reading 2- Information Literacy Tutorial
This reading was a guide to understanding and assessing knowledge. This site also aims to teach its students about the components of university study and how to be successful, this is done by providing assignments to the people who use this page.

Week 10- Information Management
LECTURE NOTES
This weeks lecture was about Information Management. A major problem faced by people is their way they manage their information, even though it is a potentially easy process. Using a computer is an easy way to manage your information. Computers have the ability to be flexible so making a folder for each topic is fairly easy. Using the 'properties' tool to create data about yourself can assist you also.
WORKSHOP
This work shop looks at the Internet and its functions, we specifically looked at the 'favourites' tab. Our task was to open three new favourite files and add two websites to each folder. Mine are as follows
- Gymnastics
- University Sites
- Pod Casts
Do you think Negroponte’s ideas are still relevant? Why?
Negroponte's ideas seem to still be relevant and correct even though they were published 13 years ago. He suggests that bits will over take atoms and an example of this is when he talks about text books being cheap to make but the costs of transporting them being expensive. An example of a 'con' about atom based information is that it can go out of date fast and not be fixed as easily as a bit format. However, a book is something we can keep for a life time and use as an example of progression where as bit is electronic and is constantly being changed and modified.
The Internet, atoms and bit based information is rapidly over taking the every day items such as videos (now DVDs), records (now C.D's) now progressing to the cinema and the other forms of media. Nevertheless, things such as "FedEx" services will not be completely changed or 'modified' but there usefulness will most definitely be reduced.
Types of information formatting:
Atom Based, Books, Journals, Reports
Pros – we can see it, easy to conceal, difficult to change, hard to copy
Cons – Bulky, Costly, Difficult to edit, and redistribute
Bit Based, digital reproductions, electronic content
Pros – cheap, easy to use an edit, flexible easy to mass produce
Cons – Privacy, unsolicited broadcast, authenticity easy to fake and spam
Reading 1- Grazing the Net
This website discusses how young people use the Internet so much that they are able to easily navigate their way though the complex functions and information found on the Internet. It is specifically about schools in North America. It defines students as 'free range students'. This is because students are now able to express themselves and their opinions to the world. The site also talks about students are needing to be taught more about information management and how to retain what they learn. It also says that schools should teach their students how to evaluate sources, so they are able to learn and obtain further information, not relying on just the one source. Finally, this website talks about the creation of the Internet and guides the reader about using skills to be successful when using the Internet.
