Abstract: When knowledge technologies change so radically, they change not only “what” we know, but also “how” we come to know (Laurillard, 2003). When asking ourselves: “how do we access knowledge?” we can answer “through blog micro-content, through personal and enterprise knowledge-blogs”. When asking ourselves “how do we attribute meaning to information?” we answer: «all together», through social bookmarking tools. This work analyses a Learning and Knowledge Landscape dealing with different practices from Informal Learning – sustained by Web 2.0 technologies. We therefore aim at addressing the knowing knowledge issues as needed substrate for the lifelong learner in the socio-technical system in the Knowledge Society. Authors’ current experience of using social software in knowledge co-construction and management in post-graduate curricula is also illustrated.
