Are We Really Learning From Internet?

Surbhi,
There is alredy several threads running about attrition. One is at
<link no longer exists - removed>
I think your good initiative is in danger of being reduced to a thread. Maybe we should develop thoughts on how to better manage this sort of activity. Would it be better, for example, that this be a moderated activity?

Hi everybody,

Thanks, Surbhi, for starting this activity.

I am afraid this activity is going to be a difficult one to control.Can I suggest the following methodology? It may be long winded, but I trust it will bring in healthy discipline.

1. Choose topic

2. Members send short subtopics to be covered within it Subtopics within subtopics should be allowed only to two levels.

3. Surbhi takes the lead in grouping the subtopics and arranging the subgroups.

4. Volunteers prepare Base Notes on each subtopic. It should cover the simplest description/definition and factual, easily available and non-controversial information about the subtopic. (like Wikipedia)

5. The Base Notes undergo a round of comments and changes.

6. Once a Base Note is ready, that subtopic is taken up, discussed for a week and then closed.

7. A volunteer collates the material so generated and prepares a Subtopic White Paper.

8. A similar exercise is taken up for a parent topic: its White Paper would, among other things, also link up its subtopics.

And so on...

I accept that this is easier said than done.

In an earlier post to this thread, I had suggested that whatever we study, we prepare multiple choice questions on it. Please try it out. It may work!

Thanks

MK

Hello Eclexys and MK,
I understand what you say. I also saw the messages on the link that you sent. A good discussion is going on over there too.
We really need to think a little more on how to manage. What I feel is we contine with the discussion for this week as we have already started it. Let us see what we can do for the next topic.
MK, both your ideas are good. Definitely if done systematically with discipline, it will bring in good results. However, I am still not sure whether it would work out or not. Let's think on it. May be we get some better option.
Thanks to both of you for your insights.
Regards,
Surbhi

Dear Surbhi,
That was a profound thought. I completely agree with you.Our lives have become very mechanical, and as information is just a click away we tend to get it without trying to use our brains.Kudos to you for bringing to light a matter which seems insignficant but has massive relevance in our day to day life.
Do kep sharing such wonderful thoughts.
Warm Regards,
Nandita

Thanks.
I am putting a pointer to the new thread on the thread I had mentioned.
Best wishes, and regret I can't actively contribute.

Surbhi,
I am fairly new to this forum. As I am browsing through it, I realize the immense value that is contained it its threads. I think the initiative you have taken could take shape even if we limit ourselves to these threads.
Just a thought, that was.
Best wishes

Dear All,
Thank you all for your participation.
We already finished discussion on one topic: "Attrition Control". Yesterday I also posted the summary of the discussion. Do go through the message thread "Your thoughts on Attrition Management/Control".
I am planning to start the next topic: "Techniques for making a new employee feel at home" tomorrow. I tried brainstorming for more topics but no replies. :(
Any suggestions before starting next topic? You can also write to me at [Login to view]
