Revision as of 20:55, 6 October 2010
Colleagues, Thanks for reading and contributing to this KM wiki. I have just made some small edits and additions and I have started this talk page. I am interested in seeing who is visiting and using this page. If you wish please leave your name, organizaiton and contact information (if desired) so we can learn who is part of our growing KMb family.

Hello from the KIS Project at the University of Saskatchewan! We are actually in the middle of trying to establish our own wiki for collaborative policy framework development on issues related to agriculture. I came upon this article/talk page by searching for "knowledge mobilization". I'm pleased to see that Dr. David Phipps has put up an entry. Great job!

Is this page on something called 'Knowledge Mobilization' a spoof? The vacuity of the statements on this page defies belief. Reinhard Wentz / London 27.05.08 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.106.8.133 (talk) 16:01, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
Merge discussion
- Propose merge. The article states that Knowledge mobilization is a synonym for knowledge transfer, therefore it should be merged into that article. I don't think that this article contributes a whole lot, except that the synonym exists and is preferred by a major research organisation in Canada. Itsmejudith (talk) 11:02, 12 February 2009 (UTC)
