Knowledge

To speak in a theory-informed way, Noa requires the right knowledge at the right time.

A lot of this knowledge we can know ahead of time and is added to conversations. Other knowledge will have already been added by your unit coordinator, as it is relevant to everyone in your unit or division.

Some knowledge, on the other hand, is personal. For example, the output of the introduction conversation is a Personal Statement which is included in all future conversations. But it is not always efficient to collect knowledge through conversations e.g. when lesson planning, the right curricula and standards for your class’ subject, year, context can only be known by you. In this case it needs to be added manually by typing, adding a link, or from an uploaded PDF.

Knowledge is included on a conversation by conversation basis e.g. while lesson planning requires the curriculum, post-lesson mentorials do not. Irrespective, once knowledge is added to a conversation, you can be assured that Noa will have it in all future conversations with you of that type.
