Earlier this week, we had the opportunity to sit down with Martin Eppler, Professor of Information and Communication Management at the University of Lugano in Switzerland.  He has written eight books, mostly on knowledge communication, management, and visualization. His latest book is Ways of Knowing.  You can learn more about his university work on their website.  In addition, they have created visual literacy tutorials and software package that uses templated visual tools for brainstorming, planning, and organization.

During this 33 minute discussion, we cover a range of topics such as:

What is collaborative knowledge visualization?
How is it used and what are the benefits and disadvantages?
What tools and techniques are available to get started?
