Knowledge Management to Support Learning Analytics in Higher Eduction

Abstract

This paper argues based on evidence from the literature that learning analytics, when undertaken by higher education institutions, is not considered within a holistic knowledge management strategy, which could provide significant improvement to the outcomes of learning analytics. Particularly, a synthesis of knowledge extraction via learning analytics and appropriate handling of such knowledge via knowledge management is not typically implemented in higher education practices, but it constitutes a promising path to improving it, and eventually contributes to improving learning services. Essentially, knowledge management can support improvements and innovation in analytics tools, translate an organisation's strategic vision into action, and enable sharing of information among different actors. These are all necessary requirements for effective learning analytics.

Efficacy of the SMARTV3UMS Learning Management System in Art and Design Courses

“…One of the KM tools that facilitates e-learning is the LMS (Alenezi et al, 2018;Al-Jedaiah, 2020;Hantoobi et al, 2021;Min et al, 2012;Okfalisa et al, 2020). LMS integration into teaching and learning activities plays a crucial role in knowledge production because it improves the process of obtaining knowledge and information, disseminating knowledge in the platform and learning activities, and assessing student knowledge.…”

“…Understanding the efficiency of employing an LMS to inculcate knowledge (input and output of the educational process) in students is critical for Malaysian higher education institutions. Recent LMS-evaluation research has identified the need to analyze the implementation of knowledge management (KM) in respective institutions' platform systems to ease the learning process, especially by expanding it across several knowledge areas (Alenezi et al, 2018;Al-Jedaiah, 2020;Hantoobi et al, 2021;Okfalisa et al, 2020). LMSs use KM to create, share, apply, and process information into implicit knowledge that can transform students' thinking and enrich their experience.…”

“…Students' LMS attitudes are crucial to the system's sustainability. Using the KM domain (Alenezi et al, 2018) to evaluate the gap in learning skills, knowledge production, and knowledge exchange is one approach for bridging the divide.…”

The Case for Serious Games Analytics

“…Within a classroom, they are an effective tool to track the evolution and performance of a large cohort of students (De Meester, Lieber, Dimou, & Verborgh, 2018). At a school management level, they can be applied to understand larger trends in performance, while at a regional or national level, it can be applied to drive educational policies (Alenezi, Emmanouilidis, & Al-Ashaab, 2018;Tsai et al, 2018).…”
