Uploading the Workload: E-materialization Processes Based on Knowledge Economy in Higher Education

19539

Universities as distinguished representatives of higher education bear great responsibilities for providing quality and innovative perspectives to their individuals. Costs and benefits of distributing high quality knowledge equally and of the best quality suggest a merge of some concepts such as learning or knowledge with economic resourcefulness in regard to cost-effectiveness. Basic instructional instruments such as syllabi, curriculums, presentations, and course notes are essential in realizing educational targets and achieving desired success. Traditional processing and application of these tools slows down efficient and quick access to learning and teaching activities. In this regard, e-materializing these instructional dynamics creates an accelerated and facilitated progression of educational activities. Overall, this study aims at developing an insight into past and current developments and applications regarding knowledge, information and data transformation processes in higher education in the sense of economic efficiency, usability, and productivity for achieving an innovative learning environment. Based on the relevant literature, this analysis first of all introduces basic concepts such as knowledge and information. Based on the tripod of education, economy, and environment, the study defines e-materialization channels in higher education and it further questions possible ways and technological tools for achieving an enhanced cost-effective learning setting in the digital world of education. Discussed in different aspects, further analyses were made concerning the suggested approach for an effective and economical transformation and use of educational knowledge and sources. Finally, an overview of the subject was provided for further discussions that will pave the way for maintaining a cost-effective and efficient learning environment for higher education with new concepts and forms.
