A University Knowledge Management Tool for the Evaluation of the Efficiency and Quality of Learning Resources in Distance e-Learning

Abstract

To compete in today's web-based society, virtually every university offers an option for distance e-learning. Universities have developed and maintain up-to-date electronic resources and materials. It is important that these resources are examined and tested from the point of view of the end-users, and to be in accordance with the relevant regulatory requirements and documents. The realization of a well-functioning university knowledge management system includes various software tools for assisting the decision-making process for the four main activities of the universities. In this article, a generic teaching knowledge management module structure, including the full-time and part-time type of learning, and the distance type of e-learning, is proposed. The main goal of the article is the presentation of an expert system concerning learning resources as a part of the university knowledge management system that can be used as a decision support tool for the achievement of competitiveness and sustainable development in some processes related to distance е-learning at the university.
