It outlines 5 key practices: 1) Build learning communities for ongoing learning discussions, 2) Create shared and collaborative multimedia content, 3) Share and build experiences through peer learning, 4) Reward participation through gamification, and 5) Facilitate collaborative learning rather than solely teaching.

Shivanu Shukla Thank You! shivanu@theteamie.com @heyshiv Every morning in Africa, when the sun rises, a gazelle wakes up and says to himself – “If I don’t run faster than the cheetah, I will die” Every morning in Africa, when the sun rises, a cheetah wakes up and says to himself – “If I don’t run faster than the gazelle, I will starve” It really doesn’t matter if you think you are a cheetah or a gazelle, but every morning, when the sun rises, you better be running!
