Knowledge management for e‐learning

Compared to our ancestors, we live in an era of unprecedented change. This change brings with it opportunities both for success and for disaster. If individuals, organisations and nations are to court success and avoid disaster, it is imperative that we identify useful mechanisms that will enable us to amplify the possibility of one while nullifying the onset of the other. The fundamental tenet of this paper is that effective knowledge management within the context of ongoing educational processes can lead both to the successful development of ‘growth economies’ and the creation of more stable societies based on the principle of dynamic knowledge sharing.
