Abstract

The authors built an electronic learning (EL) and knowledge management (KM) adoption model for sharing, updating, and adopting the essences of EL and KM based on the existing literature, as well as data and information from face-to-face interviews of 17 EL and KM researchers worldwide. In this paper, the authors discuss the theoretical and practical implications of the model and offer some suggestions for practical improvement of EL and KM systems. The authors used qualitative research and inductive reasoning approaches for this study. Findings show that the proposed model directly impacts EL and KM academics, as well as practitioners, through the adoption of EL and KM systems, and Knowledge Science is enriched by nurturing new concepts and facilitating more opportunities to enhance collaborative, innovative, open, and distributed knowledge sharing and knowledge-adopting culture.
