Knowledge Management in The Digital Era in Higher Education Institutions

Abstract

Higher education institutions as educated human beings play a role in the development of science through the tridharma of higher education. Despite the great potential offered by digital technology, there are several issues that must be addressed before the technology can be effectively utilised to disseminate knowledge. These issues include gaining access to adequate technological infrastructure, adequate digital skills among the academic community, as well as creating policies that support the safe and ethical use and management of digital information. Digitalisation has provided many benefits for knowledge management. However, there is one thing that is a challenge for all sectors not only for educational institutions in the digital era, namely, data security and authenticity. The challenges that arise require appropriate solutions so that appropriate strategies are needed to answer these challenges. It is critical for higher education institutions to take a proactive and sustainable approach to utilising digital technology capabilities.
