feedback[edit source]

hey, this is a really interesting topic, if you google 'power and knowledge', you will find heaps on why people keep knowledge secret, and why people share/relinquish knowledge. From previous study I recall this as being a huge area in the social work field. I look forward to reading your chapter!

Heading casing[edit source]

FYI, the convention on Wikiversity is for lower-cased headings. For example, use:

==Cats and dogs==

rather than

==Cats and Dogs==

Multimedia feedback

The accompanying multimedia presentation has been marked according to the marking criteria. Marks are available via the unit's Moodle site.

Overall[edit source]

This is a basic, but sufficient presentation.

Structure and content[edit source]

The structure is good and the flow between ideas is logical. Theory is a major focus of the presentation. Research could have been better integrated. Well done including a range of perspectives (i.e. the 'barriers to motivation' section). Clearer introduction and conclusion sections would be beneficial.

Communication[edit source]

The voice-over is well paced, with appropriate pauses between sentences. However, limited expression was used. It is not a requirement to use slides, however this presentation could have been improved by providing some kind of visual aid to re-enforce the information being delivered verbally. This would have made it more engaging and easier to follow.

Production quality[edit source]

Production quality is quite poor. The audio is very quiet and difficult to hear (even with headphones in). There is some background noise. The visuals are dark and slightly fuzzy. The presentation is slightly overtime. No link back to the book chapter is provided.

Overall[edit source]

  1. This is a basic chapter which applies a wide variety of motivational theories to explain knowledge sharing.F or more feedback, see my copyedits and comments below.

Theory[edit source]

  1. A wide range of theories are covered - probably too many. The chapter could be improved by concentrating in more depth on a smaller number of theories.

Research[edit source]

  1. General motivational theories were used and applied; the chapter could be improved by focusing on theories which have been used to research knowledge sharing e.g., http://scholar.google.com.au/scholar?hl=en&q=knowledge+sharing+motivation&btnG=&as_sdt=1%2C5&as_sdtp=
  2. When describing important research findings, indicate the size of effects in addition to whether or not there was an effect or relationship.
