Knowledge exists at both the organizational and unit levels; environment factors at either level may enable or impede knowledge sharing within an IT organization. There is, however, no meaningful means to measure organizational or unit level knowledge sharing. The need to understand this flow of knowledge within an organization is dramatically evidenced in information technology organizations in which...
Previously, a worker may have been able to learn a set of skills that would last during his occupational lifetime. However, the need for constant skill changes in today's environment has created difficulties for individuals who must unlearn, store and use knowledge in a new process to update the old. As knowledge grows exponentially, today's workers must keep pace with changes. Industry advancements...
The Advances in Teaching and Learning Technologies Mini-track has a history at HICSS that spans more than seventeen years. Various incarnations of this mini-track have served as an outlet for researchers who investigate the collaborative aspects of teaching, learning, and technologies that help to facilitate the teaching or learning process. The mini-track originally focused on collaborative software...
Research has established the importance of creating a sense of community in an online learning environment. How to promote community is less well understood. To better understand how to create learning communities, it is important to provide context by isolating variables such as the impact of the passage of time on feelings of community. This study provides that context by addressing the question,...
As many of the constructs of KM success have been identified and empirically shown to have an impact on that success, the need for understanding the underlying influences on these constructs becomes increasingly important. This meta-study investigated the meanings of leadership and its subconstructs (traits/skills, behavior/style, and power) to understand their influences on KM by exploring answers...
The importance of establishing a sense of community is accepted as a central element in establishing an effective learning environment, impacting student persistence, satisfaction, and achievement. Although there is a body of research on building learning communities within an asynchronous learning network (ALN), that research is rather one-dimensional in that it is based upon a sample taken at a...
Each Introduction to Engineering student at USM experiences what it is like to be an engineering student and to do engineering-like work. Under development for five years, the course is always an experiment in process, focused on increased student competence and confidence in 28 areas of USM's EC2000 outcomes. Our most recent interventions have focused on the wide range of student preparation and...
