This crisply written article starts out with a lot of promise, but just when I thought it was going to make an interesting point, it missed. So I'll make it. The authors, thrfough a careful definition of both, suggest that knowledge management can influence instructional design. "Specifically, a KMS enhances the communication, coordination, and collaboration among such [an instructional design] team while improving long-term productivity by facilitating access, archiving, retrieval and reuse of a variety of learning objects and instructional resources." Well, yeah. But what would be really interesting is a look at how the application of knowledge management, as defined by the authors, can bear on the final product. How could knowledge management make for better online courses? I can think of so many ways.CRLF
