Knowledge Management Strategies for Distance Education

Date
2007Abstract
During the past century, rapid development of an information society
and growth in the quantity of accessible information was given
considerable momentum with the development of information and
communication technologies (ICT), which allow people to interact
with each other and to share digital information relatively easily. An
example of this is the Internet.
For many people the information explosion has led to an overwhelming
feeling of information overload. Internet searches for relevant
information yield a growing number of results that are unrelated to the
searched topic or are only marginally useful, while growing amounts
of the information available are of poor quality.
If information and knowledge are to be of practical value they must
be effectively managed. This is particularly important in education and
distance education (DE) where information plays such an important
role in teaching and learning. Knowledge Management (KM) is a
response to these challenges, mostly seen in the business world and
to some extent, in education.
