“Ive learned more in the last few weeks by monitoring this community than I have in the past year in class..... Its an amazing group ‐ I have seen discussions on questions I hadnt thought about and received pointers towards great articles...... Makes me wonder why Im spending all that money on a formal education when Im not learning as much....” “I really "ummed and ahhed" before joining this community. Participating in social media is still a bit "scary" for me ‐ dont laugh!!! But Im glad I did ‐ Ive learnt more in a few days than in the previous 6 months of trying to figure it all out for myself. Another vote for social learning.”

What do these examples have in common?Not fundamentally “learning” systemsBut social systemsIt’s about enabling and encouraging participation than managing access to learning contentStart with a social system and build in the learning
