Therefore, this course is to provide a thorough and informative perspective on the emergent practices in knowledge management. Information technology has been, and will continue to be, an important catalyst of this innovative field. Web-based technologies including Web 2.0, artificial intelligence, expert systems, analytics, and collaborative technologies continue to support and transform the field of KM.
