Dear Km4dev members:

This is to humbly remind you to participate in the survey on knowledge
sharing within VCoPs. I will really appreciate if you take a few of your
minutes to fill in the questionnarire (see the link below) as I have got
a deadline and as my success in my doctoral research project depends on
your participation and focuses on km4dev VCoPs. (NB - thank you very
much for those who have already filled the survey).  

Please follow the Link below to fill in the survey:

Information on the research (optional)

Subject - Questionnaire to be used for e-mail interviews with various
moderators and members of virtual communities of practice (VCoPs)

The purpose of this letter is to introduce a survey to investigate the
potential use of an information and knowledge flow model in active
VCoPs. If found applicable the model could be used for further research
in this field, for example approaches to improve the efficiency of
information and knowledge sharing, especially the tacit and explicit
knowledge, within a particular VCoP. The results of this research will
form part of a doctoral thesis.

The attached questionnaire should take approximately 20 to 25 minutes to
complete.

Informed consent

completely voluntary. Participants are assured that their information
will be kept strictly confidential and anonymous. No references will be
made to specific individuals. All responses will be used for academic
purposes only.

I am not Dutch, but I have had some experience with Social Media usage among a group of students in Abidjan, so I hope you don't mind me sitting in on some of your discussions.

Just had a look at www.openaid.de and www.mywash.org. Both very interesting!

Hi Claudia and others. Let's revive the discussion on this forum! Anand, maybe you can throw in a question or two that can enliven the discussion. Maybe Claudia can tell us something about OpenAid.

Hi everybody, just a short not to introduce myself. I joined the group ALTHOUGH I am not in the NL - but I am VERY interested in social media and development so I hope you will bear with me. Last year I created OpenAid to promote aid transparency and one of my main interest is the use of social media for local accountability at the project level.
