Each unit represents a single class session and continuation of a knowledge planning, capture, evaluation, and reporting cycle, the building blocks of a knowledge continuum.
Currently there are two ways to order Searching Out Loud. The full e-book edition on Amazon for $9.99 and any one of the self-contained first five units at 2.99 each.
The full edition includes two additional sections. One puts the lessons of the first five units to work in a Knowledge-ABLED case study. The second is an epilogue recounting changes to the research landscape since the inception of smart phones and social media.

The book is actually six smaller books that are broken into six units. Each one represents a single class session and continuation of a knowledge planning, capture, evaluation, and reporting cycle we define as the building blocks of a knowledge continuum. So they’re interrelated. Also, like the web itself they’re non-linear. You can jump into the middle and work in either direction. The cross-referencing between units really sealed that deal. From a learning perspective, I couldn’t justify releasing each unit on is own.
Here’s how we move from one sequential step in the knowledge continuum to the next:
- Unit One: Organizing — How to project manage virtual investigations
Digital Version ($2.99) Paperback ($12.95)
- Unit Two: Seeking — How to search for information that informs
Digital Version ($2.99) Paperback ($12.95)
- Unit Three: Sourcing — How to evaluate information quality and source information that instructs
Digital Version ($2.99) Paperback ($12.95)
- Unit Four: Sense–making — How to focus on information context, including misinformation
Digital Version ($2.99) Paperback ($12.95)
- Unit Five: Presenting — How to present what we learn in teachable ways (and to useful outcomes)
Digital Version ($2.99) Paperback ($12.95)
Full edition only:
- Unit Six: Case study — Applying the full range of knowledge-ABLED practices by an entrepreneur with a research-focused go-to-market plan.
- Epilogue: Giving Voice to Searching Out Loud — the implications of social media and the social engineering used to serve online advertising. How do they impact our virtual investigations and digital independence?
