While you have all resources for learning at your disposal, when studying for an academic degree, the resources needed to upgrade your knowledge are seldom available. This presentation tries to highlight the workplace learning in the present context and technology choices. Older, formal, pyramidal learning structures are giving way to more fluid, more agile and more collaborative approaches. The skills of the teacher or trainer are more about engagement and storytelling: the skills of the learner more about social capital to be effective in community, collaborative learning spaces and the ability to learn and learn again over time. It’s a more continuous process of change: less about learning in abstract classrooms and then going back to work. Learning is ongoing.

This excellent article describes the current use of different technological gadgets that are being used in different contexts to teach and learn English using technology. Dr. Richards also explains its academic relevance through hands-on examples.
The social learning theory proposed by Albert Bandura has become perhaps the most influential theory of learning and development.
Though rooted in many of the basic concepts of traditional learning theory, Bandura believed that direct reinforcement could not account for all types of learning.
His theory added a social element, arguing that people can learn new information and behaviors by watching other people.
Known as observational learning (or modeling), this type of learning can be used to explain a wide variety of behaviors.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

4. Social Learning in 2015
Are businesses using social learning?
Jane Hart, an independent workplace
advisor, writer and international speaker
explained recently that she believes
most organisations are in an ‘interim
stage 4’ by simply adding on social
learning to a more traditional learning
model1.

5. Social Learning. It's a buzz word in the online
learning space.
Are you adopting social learning or applying
social media to traditional learning models?
Introduction
7. Let’s look at the theory…
John Dewey
1859 - 1952
Dewey argued that:
o education and learning are social and interactive processes
o students thrive in an environment where they experience and
interact with the curriculum1.
o educational structures should strikes a balance between
delivering knowledge while taking into account the interests
and experiences of the student.
“Education is not preparation for life; Education is life itself”
1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Dewey
8. Let’s look at the theory…
Albert Bandura Bandura, the originator of social learning theory (despite Dewey’s earlier
work), drew heavily on the idea of modelling, or learning by observing.
He created the term 'self-efficacy' as:
o "the belief in one’s capabilities to organize and execute the courses of
action required to manage prospective situations”.
A 2002 survey ranked him as the fourth most cited psychologist of all
time1.
1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Bandura
9. Let’s look at the theory…
Bandura’s Theory
o Learning is not purely behavioural; rather, it is
a cognitive process that takes place in a social
context.
o Learning can occur by observing a
behaviour and by observing the
consequences of the behaviour (vicarious
reinforcement).
o Learning involves observation, and making
decisions about the performance of the
behaviour (observational learning
or modelling).
o Reinforcement plays a role in learning but is
not entirely responsible for learning.
o Cognition, environment, and behaviour all
mutually influence each other (reciprocal
determinism). 1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_learning_theory
10. Let’s look at the theory…
Jean Piaget Piaget's experiments demonstrated that people are active participants in
their own learning1.
His discoveries led to:
o the concept and practice of discovery learning for children
o the use of role-play and simulation for adults
o Peter Berger’s and Thomas Luckman’s ‘social construction of reality’
and therefore social constructivism.
Social Constructivism focuses on an individual's learning that takes place
because of their interactions in a group2.
1. The New Social Learning
2. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_constructivism
11. Let’s look at the theory…
Lev Vygotsky
Out of Reach
Zone of
Proximal
Development
Learn through
Scaffolding
Current
Understanding
Can work
unassisted
“We do not learn because
we develop, we develop
because we learn.”
More on Vygotsky’s Zone of
Proximal Development
theory here.
Lev Vygotsky, Zone of Proximal Development theory
12. Let’s look at the theory…
You may also have heard of the 70:20:10 model?
This constitutes:
o 70% Experiential Learning: learning and developing through day to day
tasks, challenges and practices.
o 20% Social Learning: learning and developing with and through others.
o 10% Formal Learning: learning and developing through structured
modules, courses and programs.
13. In Summary
o Social Learning is not a new concept – however, early social
learning theory focused on appropriating one's behaviour
based on imitating others.
o Social Constructivism - the theory that describes how people
learn together, whether in person or online.
o Social Learning has become timely because of the rise in social
media technology and newer workplace learning frameworks
such as 70:20:10
15. In ‘The New Social Learning’, Tony Bingham
and Marcia Conner outline 3 key trends that
drive the new social learning…
Social Learning in 2015
3 Key Trends
16. Social Learning in 2015
3 Key Trends
1. Expanding opportunities for personal
connections
o Email
o Online forums
o Blogs
o Wikis
o Social Media – Facebook/Twitter/LinkedIn/Google+/Reddit
etc.
o RSS feeds
o Webinars
17. Social Learning in 2015
3 Key Trends
2. Emerging Expectations from shifting workplace demographics
o In 2015 Millenials1 will become the majority representation of
the workforce2.
o High comfort level with technology
o 74% of social technology users benefit from quicker access to
knowledge3.
o 89% of millennials want their workplace to be social and fun3.

3. http://elearninginfographics.com/engaging-millennials-using-social-learning-infographic/
18. Social Learning in 2015
3 Key Trends
3. Increasing reach of customised technology
o Consumers expect almost everything to be customised for our needs –
new technology = mass customisation.
o Trend is moving into workplace in the form of ‘mashups’ such as:
o Role Mashups – Everyone acting as learners and teachers.
o Workgroup Mashups – reach, team up and work with people
everywhere outside of traditional hierarchies.
o Content Mashups – The internet allows us to find relevant information
from anywhere for our own purpose.
o Management Mashups – Using open discussion forums for quicker
access to feedback and conveying their visions.
20. Social Learning in Action
LMS based sharing
Social Learning can be done in an LMS in
the following ways:
• Develop a team based newsfeed
(similar to a Facebook newsfeed) of
learning that employees are
completing.
• Encouraging learners to ‘follow’
people in their organisation who they
perceive to be a leader to motivate
them to do similar learning.
• Encourage learners to ‘rate’
courses/learning they have
completed.
21. Social Learning in Action
LMS based sharing
Social Learning can be done in an LMS in
the following ways:
• Encourage open discussion on
discussion forums.
• Allow employees to blog and post
their blogs onto the LMS for other
learners to see.
22. Social Learning in Action
Using Social Media
Social Media tools already available to
encourage social learning:
• LinkedIn Group – make the group a
closed group if it is only for
employees.
• Use Facebook or Twitter groups if
this is appropriate for your
organisation – again, these can be
‘closed’ groups.
An example of a LinkedIn discussion group.
23. Lose a bit of control. Let your employees share information freely.
Don't play Big Brother or have too many rules. Have a code of conduct
but don't be too hands on.
Social Learning In Action
Lose Control
Find your ‘learning champions’ and ask them to help kick start your
social learning program – maybe even incentivise them. Or, involve
them on your social learning project at initiation stage – they will love
to get involved.
Identify Champions
Be mindful that not all of your employees will feel comfortable with the
‘new’ way of doing things. Maybe think about a phased approach of
introducing social learning so the change won’t be too overwhelming.
Be mindful of your audience
