Who can review the content? After having familiarized them with the fundamentals of e-learning and having gathered the basic requirements, I got down to collecting the content for the initial modules from one of the SMEs. Post this first content-gathering phase, it was time for me to travel back to India.

The analytics told me that over 40% of the users are Active Users (a term Jive uses to describe all users who log in to consume content without necessarily interacting with the content in any manner). They are lurking on the edge, consuming content. Is it an indicator of the value of the content being generated on the platform?

The content of the course(s) can be the trigger for discussions, exchange of opinions, and sharing of knowledge. This helps to keep the course content alive while also capturing the tacit knowledge of the workforce.

We often forget that the "user is the content." Unless the perception is managed, interpretation of content cannot be controlled or directed. If we, as designers of "learning solutions" can keep this in mind, we will realize that static content does not enable learning. How each of us interpret it becomes our individual truth.

Since then, I have learned to curate, filter, aggregate, save and share. I consciously follow people who I trust and who become my curators.

A chance to facilitate the growth of user-generated content The actual “course” content—the micro-modules—could serve as the basis for discussion-starters or be the anchor around which conversations take place. A reason to “narrate their work” on the platform thus possibly inculcating a culture of “working aloud” 5.

In a bid to embrace e-learning, many organizations have dumped all their existing training content into a format that can be delivered over the web. Today, the concept has caught on and the scale has swung in the opposite direction. And e-learning gets a bad name.
