Knowledge

All humans have some form of knowledge, that is, we have the ability to recognise and process information on a particular subject or situation.[1] However, just by going through our day and talking to people, it is possible to see that not everyone has the same level of knowledge in every discipline or even everyday tasks. In order to share and spread humanity’s acquired knowledge from thousands of years, we have created records and resources of what we know and communicated in four primary methods:

• Textual
• Imagery
• Demonstration
• Aural.

Perhaps the earliest methods of knowledge sharing are through demonstration and verbal communication which is also experienced at a childhood level where we learn basic things. In regards to the storage of knowledge, while books and online resources may appear to provide reliable knowledge, we must look at how likely the information provided is true!

As a group we have already encountered limits of our knowledge as well as times of situated knowledge. Since we have various technical backgrounds we are used to different shortcut hotkeys as well as different modelling techniques, consequently our application of some knowledge has produced unexpected results, leaving us searching for greater knowledge. Working together on a single project with various learning curves has meant that we’ve also had to share our knowledge on particular areas. In collaborating, we have imparted knowledge through the demonstration of certain skills such as manipulating a terrain and animating a pdf so that it performs like a power point presentation.
