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). | | | | | |

Please feel free to comment and provide feedback. Tagged: learning, social learning, social media, social networking. | DARETOSHARE APRIL 1, 2009 What is Social Learning? Here is my attempt to define Social Learning for non technical people who have had virtually no experience with social media or software. Most of what we learn, we learn from other people – from conversing with others – and networks promote those conversations. Social Learning can create more powerful and enduring learning experiences through the use of online communities and networks , where learners are encouraged to co- create , collaborate and share knowledge and fully participate in their learning. Social Learning is enabled by the use of Enterprise Social Software. . | 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 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. How can learning leaders assess whether the benefits live up to the hype?&# – CLO Magazine March 2010 Issue. co-wrote an article with Craig Mindrum about verifying the virtual value of networked learning. . At this time, however, the enthusiasm for networked learning isn’t necessarily shared by everyone. Here is a link to the article: Verifying Virtual Value (article in CLO Magazine March 2010 Issue). | | | | | | | |

DARETOSHARE | SATURDAY, 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 | FRIDAY, 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. 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. Job losses, combined with cutbacks in workforce development investments, mean that many companies are less able to serve customers, make sales or generate innovations than they were just a few months ago. In effect, their capabilities are in recession. MORE >> -
DARETOSHARE | THURSDAY, 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. MORE >> -
DARETOSHARE | THURSDAY, OCTOBER 28, 2010 Social Sensitivity Leads to High Performing Groups
Here is a transcript from a recent 60 second science report from the Scientific American: Groups with Good Social Skills Outperform the Merely Smart. Groups of two to five members who interacted with each other best outperformed groups whose individual members had higher intelligence scores. Karen Hopkin reports: If Alice is smart, and Bob’s even smarter, working together they would A) be twice as smart, B) be half as smart or C) form a task force and get nothing done. According to new research, the answer is none of the above. It would actually depend on how well they get along. MORE >>
