KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT TOOLS AND TECHNICS TO SUPPORT CO-CREATION PROCESS OF EDUCATIONAL MATERIAL

Co-creating an educational material is a process that involves the interaction between many actors. In an inclusive educational context with high ability students, not just them are involved, but their teachers and their parents are too. The correct management of the process and of the generated knowledge on it allows the resulting material to be adjusted to the student's characteristics. For this reason, the information and knowledge created during the co creation process must be managed, so it can be used in the same or subsequent processes in order to take advantage of it to enhance the processes. The KM (Knowledge Management) seeks to present different ways of creating, storing, representing and disposing knowledge. In this paper, initially some ICT (Information and Communication Technology) tools are identified, these tools are used for KM in educational processes and education organizations and in the context of the research, they were used as support for the co-creation process. Then, some techniques of KM are identified to be used inside a co-creation process. With the identified tools and techniques, a KMS (Knowledge Management System) was defined in order to apply some of them according with the high ability student’s characteristics and needs. According to that, this paper describes how and why of each one of the parts of the KMS in order to response to the management of this co creation process based on the motivation of all the actors of the process using user interfaces, mainly the students in the development of their material, and to the resources, collaborative tools, inputs (ideas and contributions) and feedback of the process and its phases.
