Yet another interesting announcement from Google. It seems they are about to launch a new tool called knol. A knol is a ‘unit of knowledge’ and the service aims to encourage anyone who is ‘expert’ in something to write an article about it. According to Google the service aims to highlight authors and I guess help create or enhance their reputation. At the moment they are doing some limited trials by invitation only. From its description it sounds like it could be a great tool for educators and learners alike. It will be interesting to see how successful it becomes.
