Knowledge Products from Applied Design Research

This article examines how researchers can enhance the impact of their work on professional practice by developing effective knowledge products. This term refers to the means by which researchers enable others to learn from research-generated knowledge and support its uptake in practice. This paper addresses the lack of shared theoretical foundation by framing knowledge products as mediating artefacts connecting researchers' and practitioners' learning processes. It distinguishes between knowledge form and manifestation form, and offers practical guidance for designing knowledge products that foster professional learning, reflection, and application.
