BORDERLESS EDUCATION and the future of Knowledge Management System between Industries and Universities
Part of the e-government and SMART city program is the education of a given city or civilization. Since the start of civilization and nation building, knowledge through schools and universities are always present to improve the standard of living of the kingdoms, cities, nations, or even the ancient cities in the Mediterranean long time ago. From the Empire of Ghenghis Khan and the stories of the world’s greatest civilization in Athens all of these famous civilizations have their schools and universities to create technologies for the general populations. Philosophy started the innovative concepts of the city then mathematicians calculated the geometric functions to be processed by engineers for creating and producing the new technology in the material world. After the new technology is tested for use in the general public then these new innovations for the city will be implemented by government and the law makers for public governance and law and order.
These cycle of civilization order of technology for example is practiced by nations and kingdoms since the start of civilization. Our empirical studies and storage of knowledge in the library are the fundamental concepts of knowledge of nation building. The tale of “Athens vs Sparta” war show more of the knowledge power of both empires. One is using knowledge for the economy and the other is using knowledge for military power. This strength of civilization today that we can witness the economy of United States and with the rise of China were all in the book of Allison “Destined for War”, Allison compared United States and China like Athens and Sparta in terms of economic and military might and clash of powers. The challenge of these two great nations today will always seek the academic advice of the scholars in universities in terms of the diplomatic negotiations. Thus, the concept of my article will point to the importance of the role of the academe and the scientific knowledge management in a nation. The innovation of the nation will always depend upon the growth of knowledge of the kingdom or nation knowing that the survival and growth of the kingdom and nation are all guided with the intelligence of logic and reason.
Thus, there is an immediate and important need for public and private sectors to connect to the academic world specifically in higher education. The academic dilemma between the creation of knowledge in universities and the actual application are the dominant feedbacks from human resource learners from educational institutions when they work in the real business environment. This gap between education and the real work operation in the business industries gives a chance for higher education to function in the operation of the industrial operation. Knowledge and actual application of skills from the human resource is a vital part in bridging the gap between knowledge and the output of work in the modern industries of today. Thus, the challenge of educational gap is a dormant case scenario in the improvement of civilization since the ancient civilizations.
The direct application of knowledge from the university institutions are a common dilemma of many governments even today. Certainly, the programs of many governments around the world in terms of the SME’s are to grant small loans with the aid of the state universities in the assistance for knowledge and science and technology. With this concept of knowledge and its application in real business operation in a nation, the fundamental theory of Gross Domestic product will rule out as the wealth producer of the country. Though some academics are discontented in terms of the theorem of GDP as the driver of the economy but still the domestic products of the smaller enterprise will sustain the nation specifically the rural areas of the nation. Higher education and the actual utilization of knowledge towards the nation is a vital part of the economy to have a continued knowledge and educational assistance from the state universities towards the SME operators specifically to the SME’s in the rural areas of the country that needs assistance in terms of knowledge, science, and technology.
Microsoft and the Higher Education
Famous IT conglomerates such as Microsoft Corporation are leading the Higher Education infrastructure to cater the BORDERLESS EDUCATION of the future. Harvard and Princeton are leading the world online education program through MOOCS. The best part of online education that can help learners today in widening learners’ education and knowledge online is the involvement online by learners crisscrossing those platforms of education, maybe sharing those segments of study and knowledge with other universities that will create a new BLOCKCHAIN of knowledge that will further create a new NODE of KNOWLEDGE in the corner of the globe. This experience was never done before in the world of education. In my next blog I will discuss solely about BLOCKCHAIN and how it will revolutionize the MOVEMENT OF CAPITAL in the internet. This new movement of capital in the internet is so unique because it will not pass to channels of authority. Let me discuss a little how BLOCKCHAIN creates a new VALUE which I will fully discuss later in my next blog about the BLOCKCHAIN of money capital. If you can still remember in my last blog ( International Business Computing Machines and the New Challenges in the Economic Differential Equations: From Philosophical Ideologies to the Modern Dataism (avantgardebyryanf.blogspot.com) ) I discussed about capital and the movement of money around the globe through money capital. Today, through the INTERNET TECHNOLOGY ANY VALUE of the society of the world civilization can be transported through BLOCKCHAIN technology. That is why in terms of MONEY BLOCKCHAIN it is still in the “grey” area in terms of value authorization from the IMF, WTO, & WB. But the concept of BLOCKCHAIN is not only applied in the technology of money but ANY VALUE IN THE INTERNET THAT WE EXCHANGE AS A VALUE can be created as a BLOCKCHAIN converting the BLOCKCHAIN VALUE into an online BITCOIN currency for example. Thus, Learning in a BORDERLESS EDUCATION can create a new NODE of BLOCKCHAIN of knowledge that will replicate rapidly online without the restrictions of academic authorities.
Microsoft TEAMS
Take for example the product of Microsoft in the ONLINE CLASSROOM AND ACADEMIC MEETINGS. The product of TEAMS can offer a versatile applications and online operations mimicking the real classroom meeting. By recording all the writing and speaking presentations in TEAMS, segments of the same topics can be shared online with the same ACADEMIC INTEREST. Sharing those KNOWLEDGE OF INTEREST with other UNIVERSITIES will create again a BLOCKCHAIN of academic thesis that will create a certain VALUE inside the internet. This VALUE later can be converted into an online currency that can be exchanged online that learners and academics did not experience in the real world. The capacity of Microsoft TEAMS that you can present and share your classroom activities to the world with limitless audience will show that amplifying education online is more effective than the traditional classroom interaction.
Just like sharing
my writing blog to the world, maybe it is not valuable to some but if my blog
can create a segment of interested readers then these readers can create a BLOCK of interested readers of my topic or thesis then it can be
shared with VALUE online that will create a CHAIN. Just imagine, with so many subject topics are
being studied online using Microsoft TEAMS.
All of these academic interactions online can be converted to a
BLOCKCHAIN VALUE. Furthermore, the good
thing with Microsoft TEAMS is that the company is accepted in the standards of
the universities worldwide. It means
that if you are using TEAMS you are academically and professionally accepted worldwide.
The concept of MOOCS is universally accepted as well that in the future the
academic world can get more new knowledge online given the thought that online
the LIMITLESS KNOWLEDGE SHARING will create a BLOCKCHAIN of new KNOWLEDGE that
will surprise the CORPORATE INDUSTRIES IN TERMS OF HIGHER EDUCATION. The slack of the knowledge inside the
classroom and the real and fast applications of knowledge in the high technology companies will come to a
convergence in terms of theoretical knowledge and the practical applications in
the industrial world.
Microsoft NOTES
In using Microsoft TEAMS learners and higher education professionals can also utilize the product of NOTES. Just imagine long ago when learners will buy paper notebooks in the bookstore and share their writeups with their teacher and classmates for learning collaboration. But today using Microsoft notes learners can creatively write their theoretical concepts in NOTES with all the colorful presentations. And what is so valuable with this concept is that IN REAL TIME YOUR NOTES CAN BE SHARED WITH YOUR TEACHER AND CLASSMATES. The collaboration of knowledge is so compact that this BLOCK of knowledge in one class can create with a similar academic discussions with another university, or maybe universities around the globe having the same discussion of one student from one isolated class in the corner of Asia for example.
From NOTES to the whole CLASS using TEAMS
all the activities in a simple traditional class onsite can be converted to a
more valuable class online amplifying to the world of the academe using the
platform of TEAMS and NOTES. Furthermore,
as business industries will continue to require more research based operation
in their high technology operation of today, these online platform of Microsoft
in terms of continued learning from the industry towards the research findings used
in the fast moving manufacturing industries, this online mode of learning
is so convenient for upgrading the knowledge
of the human resource in the manufacturing industry for example. This knowledge upgrade is a continued process
while the learners inside the universities can also experience the most recent
business case studies inside the supply chain operations of the given
company. Connecting the university and
the real business operation is made possible through online higher education
learning and research using Microsoft TEAMS and NOTES.
Microsoft FORMS
Evaluation and gathering of raw data for research and case study purposes is a vital part in any higher educational study and research. Industries today and their R&D are hungry of recent knowledge to the point real time marketing data terminal today are guiding many conglomerates through their marketing dashboards. One example that Microsoft can offer for marketing dashboard programming is the Microsoft BI that you can translate the actual business operation to the financial analysis of the whole company ready for data analysis for the stakeholders of the company. Thus, we can observe from many conglomerates today that they can utilize the knowledge from the universities down to the actual production line and supply chain until to the customer feedback of their product offering.
Thus, the product
Microsoft FORMS is so helpful for raw data gathering like UNIVERSITY TESTING
and RESEARCH TESTING because the accurate interpretation is quick for
management and evaluation purposes. In
my university experience the product of TEAMS, FORMS, & NOTES are the
fundamental tools that I can recommend for basic collaboration of students and
teachers even with other universities for research collaboration. Moreover, SME can utilize the products of Microsoft
in terms of technology and knowledge sharing with same data quality output with
the international companies. Microsoft can further extend its reach to the
specific industries given towards the specific and even general studies of
business in the university. These vice
versa data inflow and outflow of information will create a BLOCKCHAIN of
knowledge that in the near future research and development in any given manufacturing
operation would be the ACTUAL LABORATORY of the University.
As the academic world is being mesmerized with the new
discoveries of VALUE AND CAPITAL in the new world of BLOCKCHAIN, different
faculties of higher education and the actual industries are trying to converge
the monetary sensibility of the BLOCKCHAIN technology. As the whole world
economic infrastructure is leaning towards BLOCKCHAIN form of VALUE &
CAPITAL later in the near future AI will define what is good for the University
study that can be applied in the new robotics manufacturing platform of
production. The 4th
industrial Revolution is a DATA DRIVEN REVOLUTION that requires huge amount of academic
data from the universities. An economy
or a nation that will fail to adhere these academic cravings of the modern
industries will halt the nation to move forward in advancing its status as a
nation. Again, we are in a DATA DRIVEN REVOLUTION. It is either our nation will
prosper or decay in the 4th industrial revolution.
