ILT Projects: Trends Analysis
Knowledge Management Systems and the Implications for Instruction
Introduction.

The document was written for IT6750: Current Trends and Issues in IT , which required a report on a trend or issue affecting practice, as evidence of inquiry for understanding. This report was written by a project group that included Jara Raphaelson, Tiffany Espinosa, Carol Woelber, and myself. The document explains Knowledge Management (KM) and how KM systems are becoming useful tools in Instructional Design.

The document also reviews the major impacts of KM on instructional design. These impacts have led to definite benefits including improved collaboration among team members, efficiency and long-term productivity, and ease in the re-purposing of information.
