Abstract	Zambia is on the right side of the international digital divide, as it has made the most significant effort to integrate Information and Communications Technologies (ICT) into the school curriculum. The diffusion of computers, Wi-Fi and Internet connectivity in some schools, and the increase in the usage of mobile smart phones and social media by school managers, teachers and pupils, is an opening for inducing Knowledge Management in schools. Secondary schools require an electronic Knowledge Base system, i.e. a Knowledge Management system that is able to present educational information, data and knowledge, needed by the learners. The system development will facilitate knowledge sharing, creation, transfer and searching activities optimally on any device with a standard browser, anytime and where there is internet connectivity. The purpose of this research is to design an effective online knowledge base for secondary schools. This study examines “how a knowledge base can used to support teachers in their pedagogical practice to aid leaners in knowledge search and access anywhere and anytime?” The Online Knowledge Base development requires the active participation of the Community of Practices (CoPs) in secondary schools, to share and search knowledge that can be utilized for academic excellence. In this case study, the developed “SchoolPagesZM Knowledge Base” a web based system prototype was used for the study at a rural secondary school in Isoka district. The contribution of this research to the field will be in the development of design principles that can be applied to knowledge management system development and implementation in schools. The Findings may help provide insights for the development of assessment tools for Knowledge Management implementation initiatives and practice in secondary schools.
