Knowledge Management in E-Learning Environment in the Light of the Latest Applications of Artificial Intelligence in Higher Education Institutions: (A Scientific Review and Digital Indications)

Abstract

What the current era witnessing is a huge knowledge explosion, a broad technological revolution and tremendous developments in various fields. As we can see clearly, the including of the fields of Knowledge Management, Artificial Intelligence and E-Learning have become a great concern for educational institutions and business organizations. Whereas artificial intelligence technology is considered one of the most important of these developments. It has added a new dimension to computers, and given them a role and activities that were not available before. The field of education today is also witnessing a remarkable and rapid development in educational technology, which resulted from the multiplicity of educational programs that may contribute to facilitating the educational process through Artificial Intelligence Applications. This study aims to focus on Higher Education Institutions as a modern cognitive vision by recognizing the historical development of Knowledge Management and Artificial Intelligence Applications in the E-Learning environment by conducting a scientific review of intellectual production to shed light on how Knowledge Management and Artificial Intelligence Applications have evolved in E-Learning environment. This study includes lots of Arabic and other foreign studies that published during the time 2014 till 2020 in the field of Knowledge Management and Artificial Intelligence Applications in E-Learning Environment. The results that the study find in the very beginning of the emergence of the term and the concepts associated with them, as the research and theoretical interests dealt with have a great impact on this genre. Therefore, the study finds that the subject matter and how it has developed the research trends in the field of Knowledge Management and Applications of Artificial Intelligence and E-Learning from 1993 up till 2020 were all of great interest. To achieve the objectives of the study, the researchers, relied on the method of analytical study using documents in order to examine all the documents, all the previous studies and sources that dealt with Knowledge Management in E-Learning Environment in the light of Artificial Intelligence Applications. That was in order to analyze them and reach a set of results and recommendations that help extract the components of the subject of Knowledge Management in E-Learning Environment in Higher Education Institutions. This study presents a number of recommendations, including the need to conduct further studies that clarify the importance of applying Knowledge Management practices in the E-Learning Environment in light of the developments of Applications of Artificial Intelligence in Higher Education Institutions as well.
