I deal with sensitive information and data. First of all, the definition of sensitive information is changing as organizations morph from complete control and hierarchy into more flatter and networked organizations. Having said that, there may well be data like employees personal information that must be protected.

Learning Gets Social by Tony Bingham: Karie Willyerd, vice president and chief learning officer for Sun Microsystems explains the huge opportunity the profession has in informal learning: “One of the things that has happened is that we have focused so much on the 10 percent [formal learning] that we abdicated the 70 percent [informal learning].

Our education system had inculcated the belief that “learning” is all about gaining information and knowledge and being able to remember that long enough to answer exam questions. Today, Google and the Internet has eliminated the need to remember information. The question is, “How does this information impact us, the L&D folks”.

These flows of information are occurring in a public space, and are beginning to be a key ingredient of communal, societal (and perhaps global) opinion and cultures. As we become more connected we become more informed. With information comes power and empowerment.

The MOOC is a dissemination model that has the three components – formal, informal and social – popularized by the Pervasive Learning model and the 70:20:10 built in. Corporate MOOCs will be a pathway to social and informal learning into the workplace. Honestly, we don’t really know, and all of us are waiting to see the emergence.

For an expert, the information coming their way is grouped in larger and larger interconnected bits. Whereas, a novice gets mired in the details because, for them, each piece of information is a separate bit. They soon go into information overload mode without a clue as to how to connect the small pieces to arrive at the big picture.

Effective communication enables information to be distributed to the right sources. This information through discussions, brainstorming sessions, collective sharing of inputs become knowledge.

Controls are put in place to prevent information from going to competitors; non-compliance is punished; transparency is censored to prevent general dissent. A world defined by scarcity is driven by the ethos of competition, hoarding, survival of the fittest, suspicion, exclusion, elimination of the other , and fear. Let me make a disclaimer.

Is this consistency related to the message/information being communicated? Just imagine a few f2f training sessions where a trainer is "perfectly consistent"--always saying the same things, presenting the same information in the same way, asking the same questions, carrying out each step flawlessly.

Technology —is great for exchange of information, updates and other transactional stuff. Working from home offers me plenty of solitude but not the intellectual stimulation and those over-the-shoulder conversations so crucial to serendipity, ambient awareness, and informal learning.

While courses will still have their place, the approach to course design itself will need to become more dynamic, rapid and inclusive of informal and social components.

None of this is new information or insight. The organizational walls are porous such that the outside can flow in without too much of a challenge while sensitive information is protected. The OER movement was the trigger for the MOOCs then. Then why bother writing about it you may ask. How does all of this relate to MOOCs?
