Welcome to the Knowledge Economy!

Are you interested in developing new skills for the new economy?
Professor Kinney at the School of Design is pleased to announce the inaugural launch of his credit course in Knowledge Design for the May/June period.

This is a remarkable opportunity to work in a collaborative, team-based, research-focused environment exploring and providing feedback and know-how on technologies in their beta phase of development.
I hope to run a first-ever, limited enrollment research elective course on Knowledge Cultivation and Design through the summer term. The course will use the latest in podcast/wiki/blog/social media and collaboration tools to co-research beta-level software tools from Adobe.
Please share with your friends. This course is ideally suited for team-friendly second year students with a strong grounding in Digital tools.
If you are interested please send me an email to [email protected] with the subject line "Beta Lab"
I would like to interview candidates and limit participation to 3 teams of 5 students each. This will be an awesome opportunity to pioneer new learning.

Attached are features related to my research activity.
