Abstract
It has been proven that students are able to learn and retain knowledge better by actively participating rather than learning passively. In line with this thrust, this paper?s objective is to address the problem of knowledge retention and reuse of implicit and explicit knowledge through use of an active learning system. In particular the paper aims to develop a learning module in database course which would encompass lessons learnt from mistakes, tacit and explicit knowledge from both experts and students. In the process, it endeavors efficient use of students and teacher?s time by maximum re-use of knowledge derived from experience and faster access to knowledge with the help of an active learning system.
