| The biggest challenge to online knowledge sharing probably lies in people’s willingness to share and their frequency of sharing. Past study showed that teachers and educators acknowledge the advantages of online knowledge sharing within their community. Factors affecting the success of knowledge sharing among teachers appear to be of social aspect; particularly, knowledge self-efficacy, enjoyment in helping others, collective cognitive responsibility, individual outcome expectations and identification-based trust are suggested to be the factors that encourage the motivation and behaviors of knowledge sharing (Kankanhalli et al, 2005; Hsu, et al, 2007; Bandura, 1997; Compeau and Higgins, 1995; Bishop, 2007; Scardamalia, 2002). Therefore, this study looks into these factors and how they should be embodied in online knowledge sharing or knowledge management platforms in order for the teacher community to effectively conduct knowledge sharing. |
