The Emerging and Potential Developments Of Interactive Between Knowledge Management and E-Learning: Barriers and Solutions

Abstract

In this paper the researcher introduced the concept of knowledge management (KM) and elearning (EL) integration in the potential educational environment/Universities success in Iraq. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the knowledge management and e-learning integration as a crucial component of the educational environment (EE) dynamics, and barriers implementation in the educational environment. The function of this paper is to analyze the (KM and EL) integration as an essential component of the institution’s knowledge dynamics, and the organization’s barriers implementation in the educational environment. This study was accomplished through questionnaires that surveyed (16) universities’ academicians that are located in Iraq. Findings revealed that integration barriers are (Interactivity level problem, Guidance problem, process of ongoing adaptation problem, Technical problem, Learning process negligence problem), and have a negative relationship with the perceived benefits of knowledge. Solutions are suggested.
