There are various Knowledge Management Systems available currently and designed to support knowledge sharing and learning. This study explores a certain success factors in CMS and how CMS can be a KMS for knowledge transfer and sharing in community college environment. Based on the data from a sample of community college CMS called "Amalan Pengurusan Ilmu di Kolej Komuniti", our analysis indicates that CMS success (in terms of the qualitative analysis) is related to the local community support of knowledge sharing and learning. The researchers found that visual wiki (CMS) is possible to be created and used as simple or first step towards KMS for the community college environment.

Create a knowledge based community is a challenge. In connection, the researchers introduced a framework called "KM Hierarchical Framework" to perform Knowledge Management (KM) in Community College (CC). It is more challenging to realize the visualization of knowledge in community colleges. This paper aims to explore the potential of visualization for the Hierarchical Framework. The method used is to discuss two main issues, first the framework developed for the implementation of KMS at community colleges and second, appropriate matching of the existing conceptual framework for visual realize knowledge in KM framework developed by researches. Visualization is more apparent knowledge in KM especially for knowledge transfer and sharing. The results of the study found the integration between the KM framework and knowledge visualization framework is possible to make the knowledge in CC environment becomes visible.

KM is a new field especially for the community college environment. The other thing is the knowledge in community college environment has not been captured, collaborated and managed systematically. Realizing the value and importance of KM approach the researcher has identified several goals to be achieved to come out with a viable KM framework to support the current activities of knowledge transfer in community college environment. Four different techniques were used including observation, small talk, interview & field notes and survey. The transferring of knowledge activities happen within the community college and across to the local community and their alliances with different approach. Knowledge management is a practicable and relevance for the community college as they operate as a lifelong learning and training center. Furthermore community college is the agent for the Malaysians government to develop the local community socioeconomic via knowledge transfer and knowledge sharing.
