Goal-based learning works best when there is a mechanism to allow learners to connect socially and learn from each other. This collaboration can be achieved using internal social networks or, if you use something like twitter, creating a #hashtag for each goal. This is another difference to Action Mapping.

People in my wider network usually contact me by phone, Twitter or LinkedIn but not Facebook – I keep that for personal use. Most realtime communications between our team (all of whom are based at different locations) are via Skype which we use for chat, VOIP conference calls and sending files to one another.

I must also mention Liz Cable who used a wonderful social networks = doughnuts metaphor. Essentially: A social network e.g. Facebook, is like a ring doughnut, hollow in the middle i.e. there is not central theme or purpose that binds it together.
