Knowledge management is important to every organisation, especially to distance education institutions where staff are geographically dispersed, and students are separated from the university, tutors and classmates. What are the main knowledge management requirements of a distance education institution? How can knowledge management systems solve those requirements? How can semantic web technologies support the knowledge management systems? In this talk, I will present my research motivation, expectation, investigation and conclusion about them. I will also describe the approach to model the knowledge management systems based on user and knowledge ontologies.

New Media Systems is...


Our New Media Systems research theme aims to show how new media devices, standards, architectures and concepts can change the nature of learning.

Our work involves the development of short life-cycle working prototypes of innovative technologies or concepts that we believe will influence the future of open learning within a 3-5 year timescale. Each new media concept is built into a working prototype of how the innovation may change a target community. The working prototypes are all available (in some form) from this website.

Our prototypes themselves are not designed solely for traditional Open Learning, but include a remit to show how that innovation can and will change learning at all levels and in all forms; in education, at work and play.
