Knowledge Communication can be improved by applying a set of versatile and powerful visual interaction tools. As part of our research project, we screen, evaluate and develop such effective knowledge communication instruments. In doing so, we develop not only applications, but also gather key success factors and requirements for future knowledge communication technology.

Knowledge Communication Tools that we currently develop are:

let's focus ruler let's focus timeliner let's focus positioner let's focus tracker

Our let's focus software suite has been nominated for the European Union's Information Society Technologies Prize.

 

Here is the site dedicated to these tools: en.lets-focus.com as well as a sample knowledge mapping application that we have implemented with let's focus: www.usi.ch/knowledgedomainmap.htm

Other existing Knowledge Communication Tools are for example:

• IBIS Argumentation Mapping
• iThink Network Analysis
• Grove Visual Metaphors
• Rootlearning Maps
• World of Experience
• Information Mapping
• Athena 2.0
• Araucaria
• Rationale
• cMap
• Visual Knowledge Builder
• Axon Idea Processor
• Dunes’ Digalo
