Mahwish Waheed, Abdul Zahid Khan, Hafiz Ghufran Ali Khan, M. Shahid Khalil

Open access

This is the era of knowledge and we are digging out information in the thirst of
knowledge. In this growing knowledge society efficient technological tools must be used for the
better management of knowledge. The Electronic Learning is the platform which provides the
facility of interaction among knowledge holders and seekers. The knowledge conversion
process is used to integrate the EL environment with the KM. The integration of EL and KM
utilizing the Course Management System is proposed in this paper for the effective utilization of
knowledge shared among individuals in online portals. Use of MOODLE as a CMS in EL portal
implemented in Allama Iqbal Open University is explained showing the practical practice of KM
and EL integration. The practical relationship among KM and EL can be analyzed and used for
the effective utilization of knowledge.
