So the Russians want to build a research base on the moon , and they want NASA and the European Space Agency to help them. • Activity vs outcome. Anyone who has read Off The Planet by Jerry Linenger knows that this idea has about as much chance of getting up as Vladimir Putin has of winning American Idol. • Andragogy.

Sure, plenty of environmental organisations have a Facebook page, and some are even active on Twitter, but most of their activity appears to be limited to echoing news or banal self-promotion. In terms of e-learning, I feel the green sector is not doing enough.

While the organisation has invested in social technology, and maybe even documented a social media policy, the majority of its social media activity is driven from the bottom up. It might be said it’s adopting a cautious, almost experimental approach to the concept. Take it to the next level.

Changing the concept of how we learn and redefining how we can help people do it better involve shifting the organisation’s culture, and that is a challenge greater than any IT implementation. Blended learning goes beyond pre-work online modules by integrating social activity and ongoing performance support.

Similarly, we shouldn’t mandate that our target audience aligns its learning activity according to these proportions. Perhaps it would be helpful to develop some reference content, or provide a job aid. Both of these approaches miss the point. Yet we can see more.

The instructors need to be much more active in the discussions. More importantly, the instructors should actively prompt, prod, guide and challenge the participants to engage in critical analysis. It may be tempting to set aside a pre-week for this purpose, but the truth is it will bleed into Week 1 anyway.

If you’re people aren’t the type who care and share, then a platform isn’t going to be much help. My go-to success stories for social learning are Coca-Cola Amatil, who have cultivated active communities of practice across state-based factory floors; and Deloitte, who are the poster child for enterprise social networking.

To help bridge the gap, I was honoured to moderate a panel session at last month’s AITD National Conference. Rather than see it as something to be ashamed of, avoided at all costs, and certainly not to be aired in public, innovators embrace failure, they actively seek it out – and most importantly of all, they learn from it.

I’m active on Twitter and I write this blog, so why not engage with me on these platforms first? If I help you out by suggesting speakers or topics for your upcoming event, don’t ask me to sell it.

As previously noted , adult learners are problem-oriented, so you need to explain how spending this hour or so will help them in their job. The facilitator should actively invite the participants to discuss the key concepts, raise ideas and ask questions. Now it’s time to figure out what it all means.
