While the principles of Andragogy clearly stated what it takes to motivate adults to learn, the role of a teacher / the expert remained undisputed. However, the premise was that there was someone doing the "teaching" so to speak. IMHO, a heutagogical approach is essential today.

I have beenplaying the role of an enterprise community manager for some time now—6 monthsto be precise—and thought it would be a good idea to jot down my learnings fromthe past few months. There’s no place for ego in this role. I am back again after being away for more than 3 months. Ask questions,observe usage patterns and offer help.

Organizations investing in enterprise social platforms ( IMHO, more and more organizations are doing it and will continue to do so ) require community managers who can facilitate activities on the platform. This requires anyone playing the role to wear multiple hats.

Will we still continue to speak about learning as an activity to be undertaken in order to be effective at work? L&D definitely has a role to play in this metamorphosis albeit in a different avatar. This requires a holistic L&D strategy and a set of new L&D roles and skills. Some questions I keep asking myself.

From Googleplex''s Designer on the Future of Office Wilkinson proposed building out the entire GLG office to accommodate "activity-based working"--the theory that employees no longer need personal workstations so much as they need many different settings in which to meet, collaborate, or focus, depending on which tasks they''re working on.

This is leading to a shift in the role of the L&D department – from managers and disseminators of formally designed programs to facilitators and enablers of collaboration and communities. Employee engagement is not a set of isolated and random activities. Make employee engagement an outcome, not the goal.

Knowledge sharing is actively encouraged, facilitated, and rewarded. Hence, the role of an enterprise community (learning) manager could become even more imperative in the success of a MOOC. Knowledge hoarding and hoarders are weeded out. Everyone is encouraged to build their own PLNs – both within and outside of the organization.

Microlearning deals with relatively small learning units and short-term learning activities. Thus, micro-learning can play a crucial role in both formally designed performance support as well as in informal learning, with the latter focusing on user-generated content. And micro-learning prominently features in all these areas.

Jobs and roles are rapidly evolving with new ones emerging, and old ones getting automated or vanishing altogether. In the context of this need for continuous learning, MOOCs can play a critical role. The MOOC itself – if well designed – can push the learner to engage in self-driven and authentic learning activities.
