New model of e-learning based on knowledge management system

Abstract

Managing knowledge has become common practice in many companies in Indonesia. However, this is not the same thing in education institution like a university. Each business process in the university will most likely be disrupted whenever a staff takes a leave or even resign. Several reasons arise to justify this behavior, like all other staffs are already busy, that is not my KPI (Key Performance Indicator) to be concerned, and I do not have the knowledge to perform such job. The third reason explains the absence of knowledge management in the business process. Since each university has a unique process business, a system for managing knowledge should be flexible enough to accommodate every possible process. One of the advantages of using knowledge management is the possibility to provide eLearning on top of the knowledge management system. While eLearning should also be flexible to accommodate every possible business process, it should also support reusability to ensure effective and efficient process with minimum time-to-deploy. This research proposes a model to ensure flexibility and reusability of eLearning on top of Knowledge Management System.
