Identifying the Body of Knowledge by Using Knowledge Engineering Technique for Implementing MOOCs in the Organization

Abstract

Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) is considered as an innovation training platform which allows employees to improve knowledge and skill in a comfortable way. Human Resource professionals currently adopted MOOCs as a training and development platform for their companies. However, it seems that MOOCs still cannot ensure full benefits to companies since they fail to capitalize on the MOOCs' training program. Identifying the body of knowledge will help the company know what particular knowledge or skill their employee needs to acquire. Therefore, the company can list all subjects and measurements in the training program which the employees need to achieve and can prepare the financial support for the enrollment in MOOCs. This paper proposes a method that facilitates the organization's capacity to identify the body of knowledge by using a knowledge engineering technique.
