Lamia Berkani, Azeddine Chikh · Procedia - Social and Behavioral Sciences · 2010
Knowledge management aims at capturing, transferring, and reusing knowledge. We are interested by knowledge reuse within Communities of Practice of E-learning (CoPEs). Pertinent reuse would facilitate learning of e-learning actors, increase their productivity and finally improve the quality of their artefacts. The present paper proposes a process for knowledge reuse within a CoPE, composed of two subprocesses: (1) reification process, transforming Tacit and Elicit knowledge to a new Elicit Knowledge, and (2) An indexing process, making reusable the previous resulted knowledge. Two knowledge indexing techniques are used: (a) Knowledge Annotation, using the concepts of O’CoPE ontology, and (b) Knowledge intentionalisation using members’ intentions. Moreover an adaptation process of Knowledge regarding the members’ profiles allows a personalized reuse of that knowledge. © 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
