Cloud-Based Framework for Knowledge Sharing in Saudi Arabia’s HEIs
摘要
Effective knowledge sharing is critical for encouraging innovation and cooperation in today's knowledge-driven economy. Following Vision 2030, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is utilising digital transformation to incorporate sophisticated technology across numerous sectors, including higher education. This study investigates knowledge-sharing activities using the SA-HEIKSP cloud-based platform. It is intended to foster cooperation and co-creation of knowledge among Saudi university students, teachers, and researchers. The research employs a conceptual framework combining the Technology-Organization-Environment theory, diffusion of Innovations theory, and other individual factors to assess Saudi institutions’ readiness to adopt the platform. The study evaluates the platform in three scenarios on the AWS cloud, focusing on technical compatibility, organisational preparedness, and user attitudes. The findings contribute to understanding cloud-based knowledge-sharing adoption in higher education, aligning with Vision 2030’s goals. Further research is needed to test the proposed framework and assess SA-HEIKSP’s scalability across more educational institutions.
