There is another implication of this reluctance to be recorded which might explain why it can be so difficult to get employees to contribute to forums and other types of social media in the workplace. Contributing a post, even just a comment, is like being recorded.

Here are some arguments: 1 Live events allow for a free-flowing dialogue, something that is simply not going to happen by email, in a forum or on Twitter. Why do you want to fix your learners to a particular date and time? Many learning activities, including role-plays, simply have to be live.

Asynchronous comms, using email, forums, social networks, blogs and wikis, allow us to regain control of our time. Think of the disadvantages. Synchronising diaries can be a nightmare, and meeting at the same time forces us to communicate at a pace determined by others.

So what does it mean to be able to interact, as learners, using email, forums, wikis, blogs, social networks and the like? But was this normal? Was it sufficiently speedy and flexible to be desirable? It was a last resort. Quite a lot I reckon. There are considerable advantages to asynchronous learning: It allows time for reflection.

You can achieve this in a number of ways: There may be some sort of discussion forum built in to your learning platform. If your content introduces new concepts, principles or ideas, then learners will want to test these out and explore them further. You may have a completely separate social platform.

Perhaps the most used feature of the system is the discussion forum, although there is a top-down element as well through corporate blogs, news and videos.

In a facilitated learning intervention, interactions can be planned to occur alongside the use of learning materials, through group activities in a classroom, debriefs in a virtual classroom, forum discussions, practical group assignments, coaching sessions, and so on.

If you have questions, you go to the forums. You know the detailed information will always be available online so you don't bother trying to learn any of that. You want the big picture, the important ideas, lots of tips and tricks, and demonstrations of the key skills.

To follow-up, I''d provide a forum where you could ask experts for answers to really tricky questions not covered in the programme. To avoid users guessing, I''d include the option ''I don''t know'' in every question. This would score zero points, whereas wrong answers would score minus points, making a guess a risky response.

You could achieve a similar effect by sending learners to a forum, but that’s a bit clunky and certainly wouldn’t work if you had a large number of questions. This is hardly surprising, because it takes an iron will to type in lots of text when you are the only one who will see it.

You can still obtain the efficiency savings inherent in learning online while maintaining a collaborative element (using forums, wikis, etc.) It is probably fair to say that we need less synchronous learning, less group learning and less face-to-face learning, but we don't need none. and a live element (using web conferencing).

If you're not familiar with the rule in so far as it relates to forums, blogs and wikis, the idea is that for every 100 users, one sets up the forum thread, blog or wiki page, ten contribute by replying, commenting or making amendments, while the rest are passive consumers.
