  KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT “All of life and business is a game of odds.

Executive director, IBM Corp.'s Institute for Knowledge Management (Glasser 1999)(3). In order to conquer the commitment of increased “effectiveness, efficiency, and competitiveness,” many organizations have chosen to implement KM practices and systems (Schultze and Leidner 2002, p. 2) (3).

  ADVANTAGES Which youchoose depends on how you're using the wiki: If the whole of the course taking place in the wiki it's a VLE in itself. And an external one might give you enough flexibility. Supported in-house by IT department - they may be able to add or limit features as you require - they can also cause time delays that don't meet the needs of academics or students. External wikis have the ability to stay very up to date and to improve on a monthly  (or even weekly) basis.

  DISADVANTAGES Possibility ofexternal tech failure (like when educspaces announced it was closing in the middle of people's blogging-based courses - luckily it was saved, but it's a message! - the need to look for systems with well funded support) . Which you choose depends on how you're using the wiki - if is it just a small part of a course using technology it may sit naturally within the institutional VLE and the wiki available. within that The provider may start charging for the use of the service. There may be some issues of confidentiality - if students are working on something that is case study based.

  CONCLUSION The cooperativework of wikis and show how it will ‘write itself’, based on conserving this developing repository of knowledge in the organization and the end user’s contribution. It also analyses the reasons for how wikis can be useful in knowledge management work and the reason for why the case organization has dismissed using Wiki technology for knowledge management. The risk of wiki rejection argues are based upon the literature, provided by a number of strategies, as said by this case organization. Wiki is placed at less importance upon strict discipline, wide range of monitoring and centralised control systems to manage knowledge in the organization when contrast with traditional Knowledge Management Systems .
