Abstract

Knowledge can be termed as an output of information analysis. It is further classified as explicit and tacit knowledge. The amount of knowledge generated in Educational Institutes is considerably huge. Every Educational Institute EI has teachers who work on a specific subject and its related domains for years all together. These teachers can be termed as experts in their subjects. Subject experts spend a lot of time and efforts to generate knowledge for improving teaching process. By applying their analytical and cognitive skills and experience they generate a set of knowledge that is unique and precious in nature. When these experts leave the organization, their expertise and the knowledge they generate is also lost. There should be efforts taken to extract this knowledge from the experts and preserve it. Many organizations use the concept of Knowledge Management KM for preserving the knowledge generated within organization. This paper is an attempt to draw a conceptual framework for use of KM techniques in Educational Institutes. It tries to explore the possibility and challenges involved in using KM concepts to preserve knowledge with more stress on tacit knowledge. Further it attempts to examine the role of digitalization in the above mentioned process. Nishat. Z.
