Abstract

Business finance, traditionally taught in a lecturer-centered approach, underestimates the postgraduate students’ rich tacit knowledge and results in suboptimal knowledge management processes. One way to enhance these processes is to engage students via Padlet, an interactive virtual wall. Thirty-two postgraduate business finance students were asked to post and share their ideas via Padlet. Data were collected from a survey and interviews. The data analysis showed that students were satisfied with the use of Padlet and perceived that they had applied, shared and acquired new knowledge. Hence, Padlet could be used to engage students and enhance knowledge management processes. © 2019, © 2019 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
