2. Although social learning is something that we have always done, it
has often been ignored or misunderstood by the training
industry. Now, however, the proliferation of social tools makes this
a powerful way to improve workplace performance.
When we consider what social learning means inside an
organization, it’s not just adding social media to instructional
programmes or letting people interact with one another. It’s more
about helping people learn from one another as they work
together – enhanced by collaborative enterprise social tools.
Learning in today’s networked workplace is not just being trained
to do a task, but about learning with and from one another as we
face new challenges.
In the connected enterprise there is a new role for HR, OD, and
L&D departments. This book looks at some of the key ways that
organizations can start to support social workplace learning.
