It is not enough to develop information - for example on a wiki, or on your word processor. The information must be made available in order to be useful.
Information can be shared in a number of ways, for example:
- Traditional methods such as face-to-face courses and textbooks.
- Television and radio. "Podcasts" technology can be used to make it easier for radio programs to share knowledge.
- Various forms of offline distribution of content which is developed or sourced online. See Offline content collaboration.
- Mobile phones, for example through Akvo's tools to enable end users of water technology to provide feedback via mobile phone.
