“…Increasing use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) (Lareki et al, 2010;Lytras et al, 2007;Turan and Khasawneh, 2008) in higher education learning and teaching is a global phenomenon that is evidenced by the billions of dollars invested in ICT in various universities around the world (Selwyn, 2007). The increasing use of computer applications in college education is likely to have important effects in the teaching and learning of various subjects (Liu et al, 2010).…”

Research indicates that although students are the ultimate 'beneficiaries of Information and Communication Technology (ICT)-based' higher education learning their voices have been neglected in its development. This paper attempts to redress this imbalance by illuminating students' perceptions of the use of Computer Assisted Learning (CAL) in an undergraduate accounting module. The findings suggest that students are in favour of using EQL in a supportive role only. Interviewees rejected the idea of replacing human tutors with machine tutors and they believed that most of their learning occurs in tutorials and ranked these as the most important component of the module.

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to propose a common business school framework based on knowledge resources that are available in business schools. To support the arguments made based on review literature, the paper presents the holistic framework of knowledge resources in a business school and also provides a knowledge value chain in sharing the resources. The paper then applies the framework to study the provisions of knowledge recourses in a business school to examine the effect of knowledge sharing.Design/methodology/approachDrawing on insights from review literature the paper starts from a broad view on knowledge sharing in business schools. Then the paper proposes a knowledge‐sharing framework. To evaluate the framework, the paper investigates one of the business school's knowledge sharing tools. Wherever data were insufficient, logical interpretation is provided. The framework is compared with respect to business schools. Then it is analyzed with the business school's online knowledge sharing tool.FindingsThe paper finds that the rapid pace of change in knowledge resources is increasingly influencing the creation, publication and dissemination of educational materials and sharing information – thus, finally having an impact on learning. The paper finds that there is an urgent need to share all the knowledge resources in business schools for effective delivery. Some important general observations are argued for, while studying the online knowledge‐sharing tool. First, effective information technology infrastructure for sharing knowledge resources is a must, and second, all the resources need to be shared online. The paper finds that the purpose of knowledge sharing in business schools would create value in the form of academic and personal value.Originality/valueThe paper provides useful suggestions for business schools to adopt knowledge‐sharing tools. The framework proposed can be adopted by any business school worldwide to enhance their ratings and processes. The paper reveals through study that, business schools must actively explore the immense potential and the wide ramifications of the knowledge resources that are hidden in different academic domains rather than just waiting to adopt passively some tool at different academic domains. This paper sets out to inspire business school leaders to find out more on knowledge sharing tools. The chosen research strategy was to study business schools and analyze their content, looking for similarities and complementarities in their nature and their strategies with respect to knowledge sharing. First, the paper identified existing systems, examining available processes in the business school, and expanding them through more searches. This paper is based on reflections combined with inputs from informal discussions and interviews conducted with several management educators, management consultants, management students and managers, which had taken place at several meetings, seminars and conferences over the last few years.

“…Taking into account that the application of Information and Communication Technologies, towards more effective learning, is one of the most challenging contexts given the specific characteristics of the learning domain [15], in this paper we present SOLE. SOLE can be described as a social network of exam questions particularized for Software Engineering domain, based on semantics and built using semantic web and eLearning standards.…”

Abstract. eLearning educative processes are a challenge for educative institutions and education professionals. In an environment in which learning resources are being produced, catalogued and stored using innovative ways, SOLE provides a platform in which exam questions can be produced supported by Web 2.0 tools, catalogued and labeled via semantic web and stored and distributed using eLearning standards. This paper presents, SOLE, a social network of exam questions sharing particularized for Software Engineering domain, based on semantics and built using semantic web and eLearning standards, such as IMS Question and Test Interoperability specification 2.1.
