Human Factors Engineering and Design of Learning Pedagogies in a KM framework

This paper presents a review of methodologies and techniques for the design of learning pedagogies and cognitive interfaces within a knowledge management framework. We refer to instructional design principles for the former and to human factors engineering for the latter. Subsequently, we propose a KM-e-learning framework which synergizes both the design of e-learning pedagogies and the design of cognitive interfaces as parallel processes. Our target learners are the remote Bario community in Sarawak, Malaysia. We will help them to develop means to create, acquire, store and share knowledge in order to improve on their English using their community’s captured knowledge to build effective community of practice. We hope to extend this work to other remote communities.
