Abstract

Knowledge is the most important resource of an organisation. The exchange of knowledge and knowledge management enhance organisational learning that in turn leads to innovation. Central to knowledge management is the concept of knowledge sharing. The future of knowledge sharing is not technical, but social. Knowledge sharing is fundamental to learning among students. This paper begins with a brief review of knowledge sharing, followed by the importance of knowledge sharing for learning, especially in problem-based learning. The authors then describe how successful knowledge sharing can be achieved for students to share knowledge in problem-based learning. The paper concludes with implications for effective knowledge sharing for student learning.
