Leadership Abstract - E-Knowledge Comes to Campus


Donald Norris, Jon Mason, and Paul Lefrere

Web-enabled infrastructures and practices are creating turbulent
disruptions for virtually every institution and enterprise. Strategic
responses to these disruptions are progressively leading to new best
practices, business models, and strategies in a variety of domains. The
acquisition, assimilation, and sharing of knowledge is one such domain that is truly experiencing a revolution. Using technologies that are already developed or will be deployed over the next five years, best practices in knowledge sharing are not only diffusing rapidly but will be substantially reinvented in all settings: education, corporations, government, associations, and nonprofits. Individuals and organizations will achieve quantum leaps in their ability to exchange knowledge. Even the manner in which they experience knowledge will be transformed.

From this revolution, e-knowledge will emerge as a defining concept. E- knowledge is created by the fusion of e-learning and knowledge management.

Learners will come to accept this as a right once e-knowledge comes to
campus and to every other venue where learning happens.
