    Significance of Knowledge Management in Education

    Uploaded by

    This document discusses the importance of knowledge management (KM) in education. It defines KM as identifying, creating, distributing, and enabling the adoption of insights and experiences within an organization. KM is important for competitive success by strategically managing intellectual capital. It allows organizations to capture employee knowledge, reuse knowledge to save work and costs, and take on more projects. Successful KM programs widely disseminate information, provide fast accessible knowledge anywhere, and encourage collaboration and innovation. Effective KM requires infrastructure, open culture, commitment, and incentives to share tacit knowledge. An example is provided of a KM initiative at BIM that created an intranet application for knowledge sharing between faculty, students, and administration.

    Significance Of Knowledge

    Management In Education
    The new source of wealth is
    Knowledge, and not labor, land, or
    financial capital. It is the Intangible,
    Intellectual assets that must be
    managed.

    KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT
    • Knowledge Management (KM) comprises a range of
    strategies and practices used in an organization to identify,
    create, represent, distribute, and enable adoption of insights
    and experiences.

    • Designing and installing techniques and processes to create,


    protect, and use known knowledge.
    Why Do You Need KM?
    • Competitive success will be based on how strategically
    intellectual capital is managed.
    • Capturing the knowledge residing in the minds of
    employees/people so that it can be easily shared across
    the organization.
    • If your department wants to stop constantly
    reengineering and downsizing.
    • Reuse of knowledge saves work, reduces
    communication costs, and allows a company to take on
    more projects.
    Knowledge Types
    • Explicit Knowledge:
    Objective, rational, technical easily documented
    easily transferred / taught / learned.

    • Tacit Knowledge:
    Subjective, cognitive, experiential learning Hard to
    document Hard to transfer / teach / learn Involves a
    lot of human interpretation.
    In Successful KM Programs
    • Information is widely disseminated throughout the
    organization. Wherever it is needed, it is accessible.
    • Accessible at a fast rate of speed.
    • Virtual communities of practice share what is known in
    a global fashion, independent of time zones and other
    geographic limitations.
    • Business boundaries are broad, and often virtual in
    nature.
    • Collaboration to support continuous innovation and new
    knowledge creation.
    Why Is It Difficult to Manage Knowledge?
    • Unavailability of proper Infrastructure.
    • No internal learning communities.
    • Lack of psychological safety.
    • Lack of workplace trust.
    • Converting the tacit knowledge of the individual into
    explicit knowledge.
    What Is Required?
    • Sophisticated Infrastructure.
    • Open culture in the organization.
    • No Intrusion from Top management.
    • Network of committed people.
    • Motivational factors –Growth, Incentives.
    • Development of informal networks must be
    supported to share their Tacit knowledge and help
    one another.
    • Chief Knowledge Officer.
    KM Initiative at BIM
    • Introduced a web based intranet application that can
    share knowledge regarding courses, programs,
    research, all academic related information between
    faculty, students and administration.

    • Named as Online Learning Teaching Application


    (OLTA).
    Features and Benefits of OLTA at BIM
    • OLTA integrates academic, fee, hostel and
    administration modules.
    • This application is integrated with campus intranet.
    • The facility of messengers and group mailing system
    is available between staff, students and faculty.
    • Only students, faculty, academic program officers,
    administrators and accounts- managers use this
    application.
    Contd…
    • Students verify attendance records for any course or program.
    • Student handbook, time table and course outlines are available
    through this interface in the intranet server.
    • Faculty teaching guidelines, course outlines, lecture notes and
    lecture materials are available in the application.
    • Faculties assign marks and award grades to students, grades are
    visualized by line, pie and bar charts.
    • Students submit assignments online to their faculty directly or
    submit to academic program office.
    • Online counseling information regarding registration like number
    of seats filled, number of seats available etc can be viewed.
    Limitations of OLTA
    • Less social opportunities for people to engage in
    face-to-face meeting.
    • It may also involve social, cultural and language
    differences.
    • Loss of contextual cues between teachers and
    students due to lack of trust, making people unwilling
    and hesitant to share knowledge.

    Conclusion
    • The essence of knowledge management is
    understanding and valuing intangible assets over
    tangible.
    • Understanding that human and intellectual capital are
    the greatest resources.
    • Managing the skills and competencies that lie within
    an organization, and allowing them to blossom.
