The convergence between knowledge management and e-learning concepts

The paper is centered on presenting the two main points of view regarding the two concepts analyzed, considering the novelty of the knowledge management domain and the essential role that the universities are playing within knowledge-based economy and knowledge-based society. The conclusion of the paper is that between knowledge management and e-learning there is a strong bound, based on the contribution of applications/e-learning platforms to the development of knowledge management processes, mainly: capturing tacit knowledge of teaching staff, sharing knowledge and creating new knowledge.
