Most of us have Facebook accounts and collaborate with friends, family and colleagues through this media. We also use tools such as Twitter, LinkedIn and other social media. In a lot of cases, we are using internal corporate social media tools to collaborate. As a learning professional, I have been pondering this question a lot. 2-- Share “real world” learnings with each other after the training is complete. By Dean Hawkinson.

We’ve been using what we call the ‘learner power continuum’ to frame our thinking about social learning in the workplace. For example, if we’re talking about social learning - learning socially - then what’s to stop us using existing social media to launch and deliver that experience? And one of the best things about it is how much it encourages you to think inside and outside the box.

Diverse culture, multiple locations, and a globalized workforce are causing businesses to re-think their learning strategies. Then, why not look at ways of making “formal” learning happen in the most informal environment as well? Can chunk-sized learning work? Can a formal, regulated, and structured framework be given to social learning ? How about using the trending technology ( virtual reality ) in the context of learning and development?

There are good reasons why companies should use Facebook as a means of promoting social learning. Too many business owners don’t take advantage of this free social media network out of fear that employees will abuse their social media privileges. As a result, entire companies miss out on all of Facebook’s social learning benefits. Like social media, social media learning is a relatively new idea.

Your Training Edge

Social media is a big part of our lives, and it is the future of learning and development. The Internet and social media allow people to blog, tweet, collaborate, post video and content, discuss, and even rate experiences. Training and development should be ready to embrace these things and use them constructively as part of the learning framework. Depending on your vendor, new media features may be part of your LMS.

The post highlights in a very straightforward, and therefore hard-hitting, terms the values and commitments one must bring in when engaging with social media. Two statements that leapt out and struck a chord with me: “Social media is your own child and once you are committed to it, you cannot stop loving it.” It’s the same with social media too. Here are a few unwritten codes of conduct that rules the world of social media.

I continue to get asked about social learning metrics. This is true whether you’re talking about formal learning, informal learning, or whatever. But I digress… So, let’s say you are interested in seeing what social media can do for your organization: what are you not seeing but need to? Metrics for informal learning aren’t rocket science, but instead mapping of best principles into specific contexts. social strategy

For example, some of them have been blogging and tweeting about the role of social media in driving the pro-democracy protests in Egypt. Good centuries-old social networking. Bloggers and Twitterati are self-evident social media fans, so it’s to be expected that some of them will adopt an evangelical view of the role of Web 2.0 Drawing all this down to the less heady world of e-learning, I can certainly see a parallel.

Social media is often seen merely as a way to pass the time or stay connected to friends and family. Each year, Pearson Learning Solutions puts out the results of an annual survey of social media use in education. Across the board, educators are using social media more in 2013 than they did in 2012. For many this may not be too surprising, especially given the rise of blended learning and flipped classroom strategies.

Social media is affecting all our lives – it has disrupted countries and it is unsettling organisations.

In the context of learning, it’s apt to mention that the world is moving from exclusivity to inclusivity and it would do better to know and understand the new language in the making – social media learning or social learning (as per the ongoing debate by experts). Instead of a cold (read formal, structured) atmosphere, if the learners’ environment is warm (read friendly, social, and informal), then finding, connecting, and engaging gets easy, doesn’t it?
