COIT20251 - Knowledge Management in the Age of AI

Showing: 2026 HE Term 3
General Information

Unit Synopsis

Knowledge management is being reshaped by artificial intelligence, enterprise platforms, digital collaboration tools and data-informed decision-making. This unit examines how organisations identify, capture, structure, share, and govern knowledge in contemporary business environments. You will develop high-level capabilities in knowledge audits, knowledge mapping, knowledge asset identification, knowledge flow analysis and knowledge management practices. The unit examines how knowledge management supports business analysis, enterprise systems, organisational learning, decision-making quality and operational improvement. You will evaluate contemporary knowledge management systems and processes, including enterprise knowledge platforms, knowledge bases, collaboration tools and AI-supported knowledge practices. The unit also considers ethical, professional, privacy, security and accountability issues associated with organisational knowledge work. Through applied assessment tasks, you will analyse an organisational knowledge problem, evaluate suitable tools and techniques, and develop a knowledge management plan that supports organisational needs and responsible AI-enabled practice.

Assessment Tasks

This is a graded unit: your overall grade will be calculated from the marks or grades for each assessment task, based on the relative weightings shown in the table above. You must obtain an overall mark for the unit of at least 50%, or an overall grade of ‘pass’ in order to pass the unit.
