Description
Delivery of nuclear education is important in R&D organizations whose principal function involves teaching and the supply of qualified students to the nuclear industry where recent trends indicate a growing demand. Successful delivery of educational and training programmes requires a transfer of knowledge (see Ref. [6]). A multi-strand approach is needed and the tools used to facilitate education and training closely align with the tools used for successful KM delivery. This relationship is becoming more apparent given recent developments to deliver nuclear training courses ‘on-line’ in a virtual classroom environment. The IAEA itself is involved in this process and has contributed through programmes such as the World Nuclear University (WNU) and Asian Network for Education in Nuclear Technology (ANENT). A number of techniques used in KM are relevant here and are provided in the flowing list.
- Applicable organizational functions:
- Educational R&D organizations.
- Related KM tools/techniques to consider:
- Explicit knowledge search/find;
- IT tools such as portals and collaboration tools.
