E-Governors: Web-Enabled Support for Knowledge Management in School Governance

摘要

School governors in England are volunteers asked to provide a strategic steer to their school, focussing on school improvement, monitoring the school's achievements and representing its local community. These roles imply a wide range of information needs, support and advice. This paper uses ideas of knowledge management to assess both present offline and ICT based support for governors, and to develop ideas for enhancing web enabled support for school governors.
