15. SOCIAL WEBCASTING
⢠People are tied together by anecdotes, impressions, observations, and
narratives, which together map the shape and substance of their world
16. SOCIAL WEBCASTING
⢠People are tied together by anecdotes, impressions, observations, and
narratives, which together map the shape and substance of their world
⢠The more deeply people know the stories, the more deeply they are invested
in the culture, and the more deeply people know the community

⢠Sharing of digital media provides a way to foster interaction and sociability, and
another way to cultivate communities, using free or inexpensive streaming
services that can be embedded in LMS pages, web sites, or blog postings
22. MICRO-BLOGGING
⢠Microsharing is the class of social software tools that enables people to update
one another with short bursts of text, links, and multimedia either through
standalone applications or as part of larger online communities or social
networks
23. MICRO-BLOGGING
⢠Microsharing is the class of social software tools that enables people to update
one another with short bursts of text, links, and multimedia either through
standalone applications or as part of larger online communities or social

⢠Messages shared are typically limited to 140 characters. This is the limit that
mobile devices (SMS) can accept (with an additional 20 characters for
identifying information)

⢠Microsharing emerges from a trend to make digital content smaller and faster to

sessions and classes
28. WIKIS
⢠Wiki represents a transformative culture shift from a â need to knowâ to a
âneed to shareâ. It builds a case that collaboration has an impact on how a
community evolves and moves forward

⢠Success of wikis should be measured not by how many people use them
but by a ďŹner outcome: developing something broader, deeper, or more
innovative than individuals could create on their own
34. VIRTUAL WORLDS
⢠Virtual environments provide places (i.e., rooms, buildings,
cities, islands, etc.) that are âbuiltâ to deliver an authentic user
experience by integrating other social learning tools; or may
aggregate online communities and media sharing sites, by
adding an immersive and engaging visual wrapper

⢠Virtualenvironments may be experienced from a ďŹrst person
point of view, by manipulating an avatar inside of the virtual
world (i.e., Second Life) or from a third person point of view
interacting with content and program generated characters
38. PLAYGROUND RULES
1. No loitering in the playground areas. The value is in participation and engagement.
2. The playground is for people of all ages and work groups.
3. Only people interested in having inďŹuence are allowed on the premises.
4. Abusive, spammy, or intolerant behavior is not tolerated. Sarcasm, debate, and
challenging and calling out bull are welcome, though.
5. If you feed pigeons, be warned they may poop on you.
6. Keep excessive cussing, name calling, and partisan politics away from the pool.
7. Enjoy life ofďŹine to stay interesting online.
8. The right to be heard does not include the right to be taken seriously
9. Be patient, above all, with yourself.
Failure to obey these rules can result in missing an unprecedented opportunity to
learn with smart, interesting people across the globe.

Editor's Notes

Social learning reframes social media from a marketing strategy to a strategy that encourages knowledge transfer and connects people in a way consistent with how we naturally interact. It is not a delivery system analogous to classroom training, mobile learning, or e-learning. Rather, it’s a powerful approach to sharing and discovering a whole array of options--some of which we may not even know we need--leading to more informed decision making and a more intimate, expansive, and dynamic understanding of the culture and context in which we work.\n

I’m going to talk about five different interventions to enable social learning. These can be used individually though more often are used in combination for building sustainable learning communities.\n

Twitter is perhaps the most well known microsharing sharing tool. Hashtags make it possible to follow broad reaching topics across multiple communities by creating discussion threads. Use of groups and judicious discrimination of who you choose to follow, enables personal learning communities. Some people create different accounts to enable participation in different communities.\n
