The rapidly increasing use of information and communication technology (ICT) in the academic community allows learners to access information and academic content anywhere at anytime. e-Learning Management System (eLMS) is one of the popular tools that are increasingly being used in higher education institutions to support and manage teaching and learning. This empirical study was thus conducted to investigate the impact of e-learning on the socialisation among students in Iraq. The sample comprised of 109 undergraduate students from College of Information Technology at a public university in Iraq, all of whom were active eLMS users. The participants took part in a survey, the results of which indicated that knowledge can be effectively transferred from lecturer to students via eLMS, which motivates students to share knowledge with peers through socialisation process, which is one of the critical aspects of Knowledge Management (KM).

Knowledge management (KM) is gaining significance as a worthy research subject due to its contribution to the success of wide range of organizations, including higher education institutions. Knowledge internalization is mainly related to capability to see the relevance of one's knowledge in a real situation. e-learning management system (eLMS) provides an online teaching and learning platform for students (as novice users) and lecturers (as experts in their specific domains) with the potential to improve students' knowledge acquisition. Thus, this empirical study was conducted to investigate the impact of knowledge internalization in eLMS among students in Iraq. To achieve these aims, survey research design was adopted and the sample comprised of 109 undergraduate students attending College of Information Technology in Iraq, all of whom were actively engaged in eLMS activities. The findings show that knowledge can be effectively transferred from lecturers to students via eLMS. Additionally, eLMS enable students to improve their prior knowledge through the internalization process, while also motivating them to share their knowledge with other students.

Information and Communication Technology (ICT) play an important role in maintaining Knowledge Management (KM) processes, because of the potential significance of knowledge management in improving the performance of higher educational institutes in particular. KM is acquiring increased relevance as a topic worth exploring. e-Learning Management System (eLMS) has been recognized and known as effective and powerful in supporting teaching and learning opportunities around the world as well as being a method of delivering education, knowledge and flexibility to higher education institutions, eLMS has been a significant step forward in the evolution of knowledge management systems.Thus, the purpose of this empirical study was to see how effective knowledge combination in eLMS is among Iraqi students. A survey research approach was adopted to achieve these goals, with a sample of 109 undergraduate students from Iraq's College of Information Technology, all of whom were actively participating in eLMS activities. The initial result showed that the knowledge can be productively transferred from teachers and lecturers to students via eLMS. Furthermore, eLMS enable students to increase their knowledge through the combination process, also students are able to integrate and use multiple knowledge sources to enhance their learning process.

Abstract:One of the important elements in building effective teamwork is team leader selection. In a team, leadership is the most significant role which contributes to the success of a software project. During team leader selection, there are several criteria that should be considered for decision makers. With regard to this problem, selecting team leader can be considered as Multi Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) problem. One of the most popular techniques of MCDM that can be employed in selecting the suitable team leader is Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP). AHP techniques consists of three key principles which are hierarchy framework, priority analysis and consistency verification. Thus, this paper presents AHP steps to select suitable team leader based on four criteria which are personality type, academic achievement, teamwork experience, and previous programming grade. Result illustrates that AHP technique can assist decision maker to effectively evaluate the alternatives in order to select suitable team leader, particularly for Software Engineering (SE) education community.
