IJKL aims at fostering multidisciplinary discussion and research on knowledge-intensive approaches to learning management and learning processes at the individual, organisational and national levels, emphasising knowledge representation issues, social and organisational elements, and architectural and design issues of learning management systems.
Topics covered include
- Knowledge-based learning management systems
- Knowledge-based approaches to competence management
- Design/conceptual issues about learning objects, knowledge/learning flows
- Learning and knowledge in social networks
- Knowledge and learning strategies, and their benchmarking
- Learning and knowledge exploitation in health, corporate and government
- Learning/knowledge portals, virtual learning symposiums/communities/universities
- Ubiquitous and pervasive learning, epistemology of knowledge and learning
- Innovative case studies, lessons learned (successes and failures)
- Focused studies of learning and knowledge in sectors
- Intelligent learning infrastructures in knowledge intensive organisations
- Maturity models of learning and knowledge exploitation
- Effective learning/knowledge exploitation methodologies, emerging technologies
- Corporate universities, new approaches/models to learning content diffusion
- Knowledge/learning towards the support of excluded/people with disabilities
Objectives
IJKL targets the emerging new landscape of knowledge intensive organisations, which require an integrated approach to the management of learning and knowledge. The promotion of leading edge research in the converging area of knowledge and learning management is treated with a strategic point of view: the fact that the deployment of technologies requires a multidisciplinary approach in which new models for learning have to be built upon effective knowledge management mechanisms. This general statement outlines the ultimate objective but towards this direction a number of other goals and objectives can be stressed:
- Promotion of the discipline
- Communication of the differences that electronic evolution brings to learning and knowledge exploitation
- Communication of lessons learned from both failures and successes of advanced learning applications
- Craft of strategies for effective learning and knowledge management convergence
- Contextual studies in sectors: main emphasis will be paid on the following sectors: Health, Government, Education, Business, Entertainment Industry, Tourism, etc
- Promotion of International Collaborations towards new projects aiming at the development of new tools and at the specification of new services
- Identification of best practices that could support consultation in many levels
- Benchmarking winning practices in the corporate field
Readership
IJKL aims to establish value-adding knowledge transfer and personal development channels in three distinctive areas: Academia, Industry and Government summarise the three pillars where a new scientific publication can play a significant role.
Contents
IJKL publishes original research papers providing significant results, and also short communications about innovative ideas and news, announcements and reviews regarding the topics of the journal.

Speak up! Closing the cultural gap in education
3 July, 2026
A systematic review of research on intercultural communication in higher education finds that cultural "power distance", which is the extent to which people accept unequal authority, continues to shape who speaks, who is heard, and how knowledge is shared in multicultural classrooms. The review, published in the International Journal of Knowledge and Learning, used a structured method for transparent evidence selection and thematic coding to identify patterns across the relevant literature. In their analysis, the researchers considered three communication pathways: student-to-student, student-to-teacher, and teacher-to-student interactions [...]
