<p>E-learning has become the protagonist for change and serve as an avenue for the creation, storing and sharing of knowledge among members of the university communities. This study sought to explore the deployment and adoption of e-learning to facilitate knowledge creation, storage and sharing in Ghanaian universities. The survey and mixed method research approach were used to collect data from stratified sampled respondents of the universities. The general population for this study comprised all the categories of the universities in Ghana: public and private. The study established that the awareness, adoption and usage of e-learning to facilitate knowledge management (creation, processing, sharing and storage) at the universities were very high. In addition, there were adequate technology and infrastructure to support the e-learning at the universities. The study also established that the e-learning systems have benefited and enhanced teaching and learning at the universities. Despite these, the study established that the universities encountered some challenges in the implementation and usage of the e-learning systems. However, by implementing sound measures such as increasing the internet bandwidth; and providing adequate and functioning computers, these challenges can be solved.</p>

In order to facilitate <a href="http://www.km4dev.org/index.php/articles/262">learning and knowledge sharing</a>, whether within or between organisations, the following principles apply: it should be driven by DEMAND; a conducive ENVIRONMENT is needed; people’s CAPACITIES may need to be developed; and appropriate TOOLS should be employed.<br />
<br />
DEMAND: Learning and KS should respond to practical needs and concerns, and should not be based on assumptions. Assessing learning & KS needs not only helps identify key areas to focus attention, but can also build demand where there is little awareness of how KS can help. Understanding demand should be a continuous process.<br />
<br />
ENVIRONMENT: The following elements can help to build a conducive environment for learning and sharing:<br />
<br />
Promote the value of learning, and encourage it to be rewarded<br />
Recognise that power relationships can present barriers to learning<br />
Promote trust<br />
Ensure continuity of organisational commitment to learning and KS<br />
Encourage a common vision and collaborative culture<br />
Provide leadership, particularly leading by example<br />
CAPACITY: People need to have the time, resources and skills to learn and to share their knowledge. Learning is not something you do alone, so networking and partnerships are complementary elements.<br />
<br />
TOOLS: An appropriate mix of tools should be developed and applied to enable learning and sharing (visual, word, etc). These might include face to face as well as online interaction, databases of lessons learned, communication technology including email, and other KM processes such as peer assist and after action review. Technology should be considered an enabling, not an essential element.
