Framework for Embedding Tacit Knowledge in Pedagogical Model to Enhance E-Learning

Abstract

Globalization has brought with it acute need of knowledge availability, due to which e-learning has been expressing dramatic growth day by day. Using this technology one can create opportunities for the learner to get knowledge whenever and wherever it is required. For better and accurate delivery of knowledge, it is very important to enhance quality, availability and processing of current training systems. E-learning should be adaptive and in accord with the requirement of the learner. A course should be designed on the basis of student's background, interests and aptitude. Much has been written on the contents' management of e-learning based on theoretical knowledge. Likewise, much has been written on the contents' delivery issues in e-learning but less effort has been made regarding e-learning, based on experimental knowledge. In this paper the authors have tried to emphasize the need of tacit learning and have designed a framework which helps to incorporate the tacit knowledge, hence trying to attain true essence of knowledge.
