This is the first week and I am absolutely looking forward to exploring the topics, learning from the other participants and participating in exciting conversations. The four topics we are planning to deep dive into in the first two weeks are: a) Networked learning, b) Personal Learning Networks, c) MOOCs, and d) Communities of Inquiry.

No matter how interactive you make an eLearning course, it is still a matter of a screen delivering content and a person consuming (reading, watching, listening, clicking, etc) that content. In fact, adult learning theory and communities of practice address the important of social interactions and learning.

I read through the forums and chat sometimes, but rarely jump into the conversation. I read several newspapers and blogs, all of which have commenting or community features. I’ll be honest; I’m not really interested in getting sucked into the high drama conversations on most of those sites. Most likely.

Engage the computer in a conversation with multiple users for an extended period of time. If the computer convinces at least 30% of the users that they are communicating with a “real person,” the computer passes the test. Want to see how one person interacted with this “intelligent” computer program?

The letter urges me to join their "community of practice" at this event, and to experience "peer-to-peer interaction."

After an initial period of controlled chaos, B2B sales organizations have made the major shift from in-person to virtual interactions — and if multiple McKinsey studies are any indication, that shift isn’t a blip. It’s the understatement of the century to say that the sales landscape looks a lot different now than it did a year ago.

That can come from a conversation around the work, but that’s not always possible (particularly if it’s a virtual wall). Communities of practice similarly need such evidence. As I’ve argued before , I think showing the thinking behind decisions is going to be increasingly important at every level.

Today was particularly interesting because I had a conversation on this blog with ePortfolio Keith (Keith Brennan aka @wiltwhatman), who was commenting on my Three Things post. In the post I made the remark that today's learning needs to be personal, social and global, all of which can be mediated through technology.

So just as some IT departments have realised the futility of banning personal devices in the workplace and are now beginning to adopt BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) strategies, L&D departments might also want to adopt a BYOL (Bring Your Own Learning) strategy and embrace all the learning that is taking place outside of training.

The more I thought about it, the more it seemed to me that it is one of the fundamental blocks of building a community of practice. A community grows around a domain where practitioners share their insights, knowledge and doubts, the work processes. It encourages deep conversations, honest feedback and authentic support.

This model came from a look at how people act in the world and I was reminded of it during a conversation on informal learning. However, there may be times when we can’t rely on that well-practiced approach (say, for instance, if our usual route home is blocked for some reason). So, let’s start with a performance model.

Conversations are some of the richest learning experiences, even in our senior years. You know, the fact that each of us can only learn so much on our own, but with a More Knowledgeable Other person by our side, we can learn that much more.

One of the main issues that contextualizes this conversation is that different organizations are at different places in their digital transformation. Here it means going further, with everyone being active in their community of practice and actively monitoring trends in related fields for implications to improve practice.
