CSL – a knowledge management tool for life

An Internet browser-based computer-support learning tool was designed and built by MTTU to serve as an assessment vehicle for business students. Now in its third year of operation it has migrated across computer platforms and been completely redesigned to become a university resource. Hundreds of students use CSL daily. This paper will outline the development of CSL and discuss our work in connecting taxonomy of knowledge with the multimedia assets needed for learning and assessment. In particular, its use in teaching Accounting, Information systems and Software Engineering courses and the lessons to be learnt will be explored. The implications for self-directed study and our University’s goal to provide life-long learning will be presented. .
