Blend informal and formal training to inspire a culture of continuous
learning and sharing.
Improve the economics of learning
Maximize your learning ROI by bringing learning to your employees when and where
they need it. Using discovery, collaboration, peer resources, and expert finding, your
employees will find new ways to get answers and further their on-the-job learning
experience, complementing your current formal learning programs. Reduce costs
by streamlining content development and increasing access to learning, information,
and experts.
Learning anywhere, anytime, on any device
When your employees are in the field, especially when they’re interacting with
customers, speedy answers matter. Provide just-in-time learning on the fly and
the ability to find subject matter experts the moment they’re needed.

Effectively retain talent
Engaged employees feel connected to the overall
success of the company and connected to their jobs.
Social and collaborative learning increases employee
engagement by promoting a culture of learning and
sharing. It encourages mentoring relationships,
connecting employees and peer-recognized experts
in one-to-one or one-to-many relationships.
Improve learning and training processes
Help employees find courses, information, and
subject matter experts faster, and better retain the
information through ongoing engagement. Through
the same channels, solicit feedback and comments
from students, alumni, and experts to create better,
more focused content that directly addresses the
topics employees want to know more about or
don’t understand.
Extend learning beyond the learning
management system
The majority of today’s learning happens on the job,
so why do organizations not take this into
consideration when developing their learning
programs? Social collaboration helps you address
this by brining learning directly to where employees
work – in their enterprise social collaboration
platform and informal learning communities.
Facilitate development and ensure compliance
With user-centric learning integrated into daily
work life, employees easily get the training they
need, when they need it; find dedicated mentoring
or coaching; and locate, engage, and rate subject
matter experts.
The best solution for social learning combines a
learning management system (LMS) that supports
instructor-led training, e-learning, exams,
assessments, and reporting with a collaboration
platform for extended and synergistic learning.
Learning blended with the power of social
collaboration means:
•• Learning opportunities go to where employees
are (and not the other way around).
•• Learning is available before, during, and after
formal courses.
•• Knowledge and learning is no longer limited to
formal courses.
•• Instructors can actively promote learning
courses from the LMS to both course- and
topic-based communities.
•• Instructors and subject matter experts come
together in communities to discuss, share, and
exchange knowledge with students and alumni.
•• Discussion encourages active and continuing
employee engagement.
Bring learning to where
people work: with their
peers; with like-minded
people on topics that
interest them; with easy
access to subject matter
experts; and where
instructors can effectively
help them learn.
