The Big Question: How do I communicate the value of social media as a learning tool to my organisation?

The corporate classroom as therapy

AUGUST 23, 2011

My client was primarily engaged in soft skills training (or 'hard skills' as they jokingly call it) for which the style was likely to be relaxed, informal and non-directive.

NOVEMBER 23, 2011

JUNE 4, 2009

June's Big Question on the Learning Circuits Blog asks a personal question: How much time do you spend and how do you find the time for reading blogs, twitter, social networks, etc.?
