Knowledge Management in Education and Academia: Driving Learning Excellence and Institutional Performance Training Course
Introduction
In today’s rapidly evolving educational landscape, effective knowledge management (KM) is critical for enhancing teaching, learning, research, and institutional efficiency. Academic institutions generate vast amounts of tacit and explicit knowledge, from research findings to pedagogical practices. Systematically capturing, sharing, and applying this knowledge ensures continuous improvement, innovation, and evidence-based decision-making across universities, colleges, and research institutions.
This training course equips educators, administrators, and academic leaders with practical skills to implement KM strategies that improve learning outcomes, research impact, and institutional performance. Participants will explore frameworks, methodologies, and digital tools to capture and disseminate knowledge effectively, fostering collaboration among faculty, students, and external partners. By the end of the program, learners will be able to develop and manage knowledge-driven processes that support academic excellence, innovation, and long-term organizational growth.
