Community members should be able to perform one or more of the five roles described in the table that follows. The road ahead : I am presently developing detailed role descriptions, community guidelines, role assessment tools, and the identification of appropriate learning products and offerings. Please share your comments and ideas to guide me through my next steps. Role Description. Key Skills and Capabilities. Consumer. Media Savvy : Able to use social media in a natural way. | DARETOSHARE APRIL 9, 2009 Measuring Networked (or Social) Learning I am often asked by business leaders to describe what we intend to measure in order to understand, manage, and improve the networked (or social) learning eco-system. There is interest in knowing how we will prove networked learning, turn potential chaos into something that is more certain and efficient, and to get some kind of “history&# about the learning and development for individuals and organizations. We do not want to take a traditional ‘Learning Management System&# appraoch and treat networked learning as formal training. Please feel free to share your ideas and suggestions. | | | | | |
| DARETOSHARE OCTOBER 13, 2010 5 Steps to Enterprise Social Learning Step 1 – Strategize : There is no one “right” Social Learning strategy, and there is no one right way to develop one. The approach to strategy development depends on several factors such as your organizational structure, existing learning programs, organizational learning culture, and the value executives place on informal learning. The strategy should paint a compelling picture of the future state of Social Learning, clearly articulate the business case for change, and outline the roadmap for how you will get from “here” to “there” (including what must change, stop, and continue). | DARETOSHARE JUNE 26, 2010 Online Communites are Changing my World Should online communities have a better reputation? Should Should you join and participate in one more online community? Are online communities profoundly changing the world for the better? Here are four examples of how online communities have changed my world: I was organizing a conference in London UK for a client. I researched the internet (blogs, discussion threads, social networks, etc.) and found 2 very interesting speakers to participate. One was from Finland and one was from the USA. The first time we met in person was at the conference. | DARETOSHARE NOVEMBER 13, 2009 Finding In-House Experts Isn’t Easy Why is it so difficult to quickly find someone in my organization to answer a pressing question, provide advice about a procedure, explain how to use some software, or tell me where to find an expert, course, or document? rely on my network to connect me to other people and information because I cannot know and will not try to know everything. I use the internal “knowledge management” and “learning management” systems. I am not completely helpless. But sometimes I just don’t know what I don’t know and I need input from an expert. know there are in-house experts in my organization. | DARETOSHARE AUGUST 22, 2009 Free, High Quality, Reusable Content What would you say if I told you that I know where you can find some FREE , HIGH QUALITY , and REUSABLE courses, modules, and lesson plans? I guess your answer depends on who you are. A company or person that sells “course or module&# development, books, and “training&# courses might not like knowing that their “competition&# is giving “it&# away for free. People who have the words “learning and development&# or “training&# in their job title might not like knowing that someone else is willing to do “the job&# for free. My dissertation proved this. | | | | | | | |

DARETOSHARE | MONDAY, MARCH 1, 2010 Verifying Virtual Value
“Learning via social networks and other Web 2.0 tools is anything but formal. Yet, when it comes to measuring its value, a structured approach should still apply.

DARETOSHARE | SUNDAY, JANUARY 3, 2010 Do We Need Sweeter Carrots and Sharper Sticks?
Learning or professional communities are “healthy” and beneficial to the organization when its members are intrinsically motivated to participate and contribute. Members of a learning community must have a desire to network, collaborate, and share information or the community will not thrive and will not drive business value. What will intrinsically motivate community members? Which types of rewards are cost-effective? When I talk with organizational leaders about creating healthy learning communities I am often asked “how do we motivate and make them participate and contribute?”. Dan Pink. MORE >> -

DARETOSHARE | MONDAY, APRIL 13, 2009 The Business Case for Social Learning
The Business Case for Social Learning. Have you heard of the “capability recession?&# For many organizations, the economic downturn is having a noticeably negative effect on workforce productivity, engagement and performance.

In effect, their capabilities are in recession. MORE >> -
DARETOSHARE | MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 2010 Forget What You Know About Good Study Habits
I read an interesting article from the New York Times. Below are some points that I thought were worth bringing to the surface. Feel free to read the entire article: [link]. In recent years, cognitive scientists have shown that a few simple techniques can reliably improve how much we learn from studying. But they directly contradict much of the common wisdom about good study habits, and they have not caught on. For instance, instead of sticking to one study location, simply alternating the room where you study improves retention. Take the notion that people have specific learning styles. MORE >>
