Analysis of Knowledge Management and E-Learning Integration Approaches

Janis Judrups

2015

Abstract

The development of knowledge Management (KM) and E-Learning (EL) naturally brings both disciplines closer and encourages integration. Assessment of integration possibilities showed a number of conceptual, technological, organizational and content barriers, which are interfering with integration, and the organization by dealing with them will increase quality, convenience, diversity and effectiveness. Use of KM and EL as equal disciplines is called an integration approach, but using one of them as a support to the other is described as an adoption approach. KM and EL integration may be based on common ground – learning. SWOT analysis was performed to summarize integration possibilities.
