Social learning has become a buzzword in the workplace learning space, and every other organization is claiming to have “social learning” as a part of the mix.

Preamble Today's #learnchat question revolved around formal and informal learning. One point that struck me was the use of the word social: Social = culture; Social = Group All learning need not be group driven or take place in groups. The way we learn is thus a manifestation of our culture, worldviews, and upbringing.
