The learning outcomes of total learning experience (TLE) to support digital empathy and literacy skills

Abstract

The total learning experience (TLE) system is an on-line knowledge management system that can store the diverse bodies of knowledge of the professors in the College of Industrial Technology (CIT) at King Mongkut’s University of Technology North Bangkok (KMUTNB), Thailand, in one database with an attempt to enhance the efficiency of knowledge management for the benefit of academics, other staff and students within the Faculty and the University. The current research is related to, and further extends, an earlier article on the TLE model development [1], with the current focus on further development, the perspectives on the development and the post-development learning outcomes. The current TLE system development has been based on the results of the earlier study, so that it would be efficient enough for practical application. The research results are corresponding to the expectation; that is, the TLE system contributes to the development of digital empathy and literacy skills through self-directed learning, and it can promote lifelong learning by making the ultimate use and application of digital innovation and technology in instruction management, research, academic services and in lifelong learning at the higher education level
