Back in 2015, I gave a short presentation for the Online Network of Independent Learning Professionals on finding freelance clients. The biggest shift for me is that more of my work now comes from networking and referrals rather than from my blog and portfolio. Networking = Relationships. Social media and online communities.

Social Media is an integral part of our lives. From the moment we wake up till we hit the sack at night, most of our waking hours are spent on social media. So, pretty much the first and the last thing we do in our lives is being on social media. However, not every online course can be carried out using social media.

I want organizations to have a concrete picture of what this looked like. This includes both the status of networks and the usage of those networks. We move our focus from internal to a broader picture, and start evaluating our processes themselves, and move to looking at these as a synergistic whole .

Have you ever used a computer to communicate with your coworkers within a network and access work-related literature/training materials? These networks started becoming popular around 1991, and by 1994 companies were using them for business purposes. Why is it that social learning management systems are replacing intranets?

Years ago, while interning for a social media marketer, I was taught the value of social media to engage and attract business. Today social media marketing has changed from meme generation, to promoted posts and tweets, image ads, and pay-per-click (PPC) campaigns on big name social media sites. So, how do you use it?

Convinced social media is right for your online course? Social media isn’t for every course. That said, not every social media platform works the same way, and your first step in determining if it’s right for you probably involves a closer look at the options available. Here are a few ways to put it to use.

Although Google+ is still in its early stages, its unique infrastructure – focused on distinguishing user groups – might be all that is needed for this network to rise above its competitors – including LinkedIn. One of the core differences between Google+ and other social networks is a feature called “circles.”

I was recently asked to define social media. At this time I define it as: Content expressed as thoughts, experience, expertise, opinions…created in text, multimedia, pictures…and shared by individuals for different reasons. I spend a lot of time using social media, and I learn a lot by interacting with it.
