INF523 Knowledge Management Systems (8)
CSU Discipline Area: Information Studies (INFST)
Duration: One session
Abstract:
This subject introduces the technologies used by individuals and organisations to access, use and coordinate the information assets to meet their knowledge management (KM) needs. The subject takes an information systems approach as students study the implementation of a KM strategy and design an information system for personal or organisational knowledge capture and use. Students explore issues related to the knowledge needs through a review of case studies and by analysing the relevant systems. Technologies surveyed include social networking technology tools (wikis, blogs), portals, intranets, knowledge repositories, digital libraries, content management systems and the semantic web. It is assumed that students come to this subject with a basic understanding of the principles of knowledge management.
