Abstract

Students who undertake courses of study at colleges and universities are generally more successful if they are able to manage their personal knowledge well and effectively.

This paper begins by discussing the meaning of personal knowledge management (PKM) and how it relates to teaching and learning, particularly to a commonly used instructional design framework. A low-level PKM architecture for students is then put forward and some of the electronic tools that students might utilise are then discussed.
