Downloads
It is important to formulate suitable learning environments capable to be customized according to value perceptions of the university. In this paper, light is shed on the concepts of integration between knowledge management (KM), and e-learning (EL) in the Higher Education sector of the economy in Abu Dhabi Emirate, United Arab Emirates (UAE).The purpose of this paper is to show light on the KM effort's and practices in the universities concerning the integration with the e- learning process. The results are derived from the literature and interviews with 16 of the academics in Eight Universities in the Emirate. The conclusion is that KM and EL have much to offer each other, but this is not yet reflected at the implementation level, and their boundaries are not always clear. Interviews have shown that both concepts perceived to be closely related and, responsibilities for these initiatives are practiced by different departments or units.
