First, Let’s Create a Lifelong Learner Profile For You
To get started, let’s create your lifelong learner profile. This profile will be the foundation of your unique learning journey, tailored to your passions and concentrations.
As you grow your network, your profile will reflect not only your learning preferences but also your valuable contributions to the learning community.
Curate and Upload Your Learning Material: All Formats Welcome
Now that your profile is set up, it’s time to dive into the heart of Linko — shaping your knowledge landscape.
Whether it’s a book you read last year, a thought-provoking podcast you listened to yesterday, or a fascinating online course you’re currently enrolled in, Linko can accommodate them all.
Upload various types of learning materials — books, websites, blogs, podcasts, videos, online courses, and even unique learning applications. Your knowledge universe is about to take shape!
*** The product is currently in beta test, so the functions are not in perfect shapes. To upload books, for a more precise result, please put the subtitle and authors’ names; to upload other source types, please put the accurate title and link.
Generating Your Personal Knowledge Network…
With your materials uploaded, Linko works its magic. It generates your Personal Knowledge Network — an interconnected nodes of your learnings, allowing you to see relationships you might have never noticed before.
Hover over any node, and Linko will spotlight it and its connections, offering a lucid view of how that topic nestles within your knowledge.
Delve deeper by clicking on a subject, annotating your insights, revisiting past learnings, and peeking into what others have shared on the same topic. Mark your process from learning to learned, and recommend your favorite sources to the community. Everyone gets a say!
Structurally Grow Your Network
As you continue to upload and engage with new learning materials, your knowledge network will grow organically.
Each new addition expands your network, creating a mosaic of insights from various sources and uncovering the synergy that comes from interdisciplinary exploration.
The network also serves as a guiding compass that illuminates gaps in your understanding, highlighting fields that are not as robust as intended. With Linko’s aid, you can effortlessly pinpoint and strengthen these weaker fields, ensuring your learning journey is finely tuned.
Distill Your Thinking, Make it Yours, Make it Last
Linko goes beyond being a mere repository of knowledge. It’s your space to reflect, synthesize, and internalize.
The “Reflection Space” is where you can distill your thoughts, insights, and inspirations. It can be sparked by a specific learning source, or you can shape your understanding of a subject by connecting concepts from different sources.
These distilled thoughts will stand the test of time, aiding your recall and fostering genuine understanding.
Thrive in the Community of Lifelong Learners
Learning is never a solitary voyage. Engage with a vibrant community of fellow learners. Diverse opinions, whether in harmony or contrast, fuel sparks of inspiration, nurturing new perspectives.
Congratulations! You’re now well-equipped to embark on a transformative journey with Linko. Organize, visualize, and internalize your knowledge like never before, and watch as your personal learning landscape evolves into a structured, interconnected masterpiece.
Happy learning!
