Knowledge internalization in e-learning management system

Abstract

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.

A Knowledge Management System Conceptual Model for the Sorong COVID-19 Task Force

“…to evaluate performance, measure and revise KMS. First, interviews with 100 respondents regarding the Covid-19 pandemic were conducted [33], [36], [47]. The respondents were members of the Sorong City Covid-19 Task Force, health experts and citizens.…”

“…The next process was to express the situation in form of rich picture. This was performed to identify actors involved in the Covid-19 handling, explain the existing knowledge and identify any unfulfilled knowledge needs [34], [36], [44]. The inside actors, those who were directly commanded by the government to handle Covid-19 outbreak, are The Sorong City Covid-19 Task Force, Covid-19 experts and the Designer whereas the outside actors are the citizens.…”

“…Such knowledge management in turn would be a reliable support for the Sorong City Covid-19 Task Force [32], [33], [34], [35]. The Sorong City Covid-19 Task Force could manage knowledge in its creation, transfer and dissemination with the requirement that they could perform the data, information and knowledge activities well [32], [36], [37], [38], [39], [40]. Such documentation activities are very important to the task force because it requires a great amount of data, information and knowledge from various actors involved in the Covid-19 handling.…”

“…The activities of handling Covid-19 in Sorong had been considered ineffective by the citizens because there was no system which could manage and disseminate knowledge (see Figure 2). To solve such problem, knowledge owned by the Sorong City Covid-19 Task Force could be built into a Knowledge Management System (KMS) [32], [33], [36].…”

Utilization of Moodle in Teaching Undergraduate Students in West Africa

“…Improvement in logistics, transparency, predictability and moreover to make it attractive, framework should be formulated. Mpungose recommends Moodle for South African Universities as it improves e-learning through content knowledge, pedagogical and technological platforms [19] [27]. The system is widely accepted across Indonesia, needs continuous improvement in contents at par with time.…”
