The Educational Organization is now becoming flat where everyone can access, learn, and share resources from a limited network (intranet) or enermous network (internet). Cloud computing technology make it possible to change the way of conventional learning to modern learning.

Modern learning as described in some theory, require modern infrastructure where the learning process becoming student’s center and teachers are meant only as facilitator. However, from best practice this theory is not 100 % fully work for a school who does not have the modern culture, e.g most of students are likely to read a manual books instead of electronic books that is read from ebook reader or laptop.

Instead of debate the conflict above, we could start to build Resources Center as starter. The Resources Center act as knowledge management tools for protecting and sharing the resources that we have for internal or external parties. When a teacher prepare and create a learning materials, he/she will review it to their principals and distribute it to their students with manual copy, however when he/she left the schools, the learning materials are gone with the wind through time. A new teacher that replace his/her position, will create a new learning materials and the process start from the beginning.

what if…

We put all the learning materials on the server as electronic documents that can be store, maintain and review with the appropriate person in a dedicated system, e.g SharePoint. the problem we had above was eliminated and resoruces can be maintained, review and distributed to all parties in a daily basis.

In order to achieve the above purpose, we need a standard that is manageable and work on every level within organization. The best practice is ISO 9001:2008 that is customized within IWA 2:2007 as a standard for quality management sytem improvement within educational organization. For knowledge management and resources allocation management, we could use harePoint 2007/2010 as a tools for managing the available resources of an educational organization.

For detail review about ISO 9001:2008 ( IWA 2:2007 ) and SharePoint Implementation, please follow my post on my blog ( https://fendynovento.wordpress.com ). I am open to discuss these ideas with your organization anytime, anywhere and anymanner for system improvement.
