Mission:
In today's society, individuals and organizations are, on one hand, confronted with an ever growing load of information and content and, on the other, with increasing demands for knowledge and skills, particularly in relation to Business management practices, global law implications, Government regulation, global economics and financing. This SBI will seek to resolve the issues in combining and effectively distributing the requirements of business, government and science to enhance understanding of knowledge.
Description:
While content and knowledge are abundant, they do not exist in a state that can be efficiently exploited. In general, content is not personalized, and interactivity does not exploit fully its richness. Tools for the capturing and editing needs of the creative professional are still in their infancy. Much of the digital content still requires human intelligence to interpret and act upon it. Moreover, an increasing volume of digital content is highly interactive and is unlikely to remain accessible and understandable over time. In terms of learning, we are still in the early phases of shifting from technology primarily focused on the delivery of content to solutions that embed learning into our daily environments that understand the individual learner/teacher and that adapt to his/her needs.
