atw: Knowledge management

Guys

I have been out of corporate for a while and am beginning to fall behind in
some areas.  For example, what does knowledge management mean now?  Are
there any off-the-shelf systems that are particularly associated with
knowledge management, as distinct from content management, records
management or document management.

Can something like SharePoint, at a stretch, be regarded as knowledge
management system, or does it come under some other banner?  It contains
'enterprise content management' which seems to cover a lot of KM, but also
includes collaboration etc.

The reason I ask is that the TAFE division has a course " BSBINM302A Utilise
a knowledge management system" and I keep telling my workmates that this
course cannot be written as a generic course because every KM system will be
different.  

However, I am wondering if there is starting to be something generic out
there that we could teach about.  We are only talking certificate III level,
which means average user level, not techo or high end user.
