In a Social Learning approach, we harness the power of communities to help with the 'sense making' part of learning. In this session, i present a model for scaffolded social learning: it's about creating a semi formal structure, with bubbles of co-creative activity in between. The model allows for a defined objective whilst avoiding an unstructured and ineffective community. Included within this presentation are a couple of examples, as well as exploration of how we build and manage the communities.
