Knowledge to me is how someone applies information or the understanding of the information. learning to me is the acquiring of information that is relevant to ones knowledge. Ken Hyland defines knowledge as constructed information used in the academic fields to further their goals. Knowledge is distinct to information because information is something that is naturally formed, while knowledge is constructed from information. This is important because Knowledge and Information are used interchangeably because they are similar yet they have different connotations, for Knowledge is more in akin to a skill or theory than Information is.
Stephen Johnson’s discussion of Innovation provides a component to the knowledge making process that is largely ignored. Knowledge is made by the combination of multiple sources of information, and is easier to create with others around. Knowledge by theses standards is the product of synthesis.
With this new information that I’ve got from Hyland and Johnson, I think that I should try to introduce more social interactions into my research and writings. I would like to engage more with people in person to help create ideas that would improve my works.
