Reshaping Human Capital Formation Through Digitalization

Abstract

This chapter focuses on reshaping intellectual capital formation via electronic-based learning platforms. A critical examination of the literature on human capital development through e-learning was conducted and it was found that digitalization enhances teaching / learning processes and activities, rather than rendering the traditional methods obsolete. The commonly used learning management systems are Blackboard, Class-Front and WebCT. With various virtual learning platforms such as game-based learning, mobile learning, social learning, and virtual world learning, the teaching and learning environments are being extended. The evolution of high levels of sophisticated information technologies across the globe has tremendously improved intellectual capital formation through digital collaboration, and interactions. Therefore, it takes continuous update of intellectual assets through digitized processes to keep abreast of vast innovations and technical know-how.
