A knowledge management framework for e-learning based on human factor engineering

Remote and rural communities are often disadvantaged in terms of access to infrastructure, information and opportunities. Two specific problems are crucial to promote sustainable online learning for the remote communities. First, presenting learning content may not be sufficient to help students to...

Computer science Remote and rural communities are often disadvantaged in terms of access to infrastructure, information and opportunities. Two specific problems are crucial to promote sustainable online learning for the remote communities.

A knowledge management framework for e-learning based on human factor engineering
description Remote and rural communities are often disadvantaged in terms of access to infrastructure, information and opportunities. Two specific problems are crucial to promote sustainable online learning for the remote communities. First, presenting learning content may not be sufficient to help students to improve their learning as they are not competent to make meaning from the information presented. Second, students are often not competent to articulate information from different perspectives or discuss complex issue. The author investigated whether Knowledge Management (KM) processes, e-learning Principles and Human factors engineering will promote meaningful learning and consequently sustainable online learning for the remote community. The contributions are in five aspects: (i) instructional design of learning activities especially role playing (ii) design of learning content, (iii) design of hint-based teaching-learning strategies to scaffold learning and (iv) design of technology-enhanced collaborative learning and (v) the design and development of an integrated systematic web and system usability evaluation format to help with the design and development of usability-efficient and usability-effective learning activities and consequently, learner-centered, learner effective and cost effective solution.
