Knowhow Knowhow is an app designed to encourage a peer-to-peer collaborative learning environment. It provides carefully curated collections of tiny pieces of relevant knowhow from a wide range of sources, stored in tagged database, enhanced by an algorithm. This breaks knowledge down into small micro-knowledge and micro-learning assets which can be shared peer to peer to create local, autonomous, learning spaces around key themes such as collaboration, conversation, ethics, or indeed any theme that is an organisational priority. It also has a number of other functions, including journalling. Developed in partnership with Spanner.
