  2. Why are you here today? Why are you here today?

  3. Implementing Social Learning

  4. Are you asking these questions? • How will we get people to use social media tools? • How will we get people to collaborate and share? • How will we ensure what they share is accurate? • When are they going to have time to collaborate and share during their workday? • What platform will allow us to track all of the social learning that takes place?

  5. Instead, try these questions How can we support those who are already working and learning collaboratively? How can we build on what is already happening? How can we encourage those who are not already working and learning collaboratively to do so? How can we provide services to individuals and teams to help them address their learning and performance problems with collaborative approaches?

  6. Social Networks are Not Social Learning

  7. Most social networks are not content-rich, but they are full of context.

  8. Social networks feed social learning

  9. “ To be persuasive, we must be believable. To be believable, we must be credible. To be credible, we must be truthful. Edward R. Murrow ”

  16. Excellence In Volunteer Policing Targeting Potential Volunteers Would you recommend DC Metropolitan Police Reserve Corps? Tell Us Why Average Review  (1 reviews)   by ROBERT C. from WALDORF, MD MPDC is not in a rush for volunteers. At least that’s the perception. Those considering applying be prepared to wait months if not years.

  18. Just another tool in the toolbox

  19. The best thing that can be said about most e-learning is that gives you the sensation of a coma without the worry or inconvenience Slide courtesy of Anders Gronstadt, Gronstadt Consulting

  20. Designing a Social Learning Event

  21. Case Study Small groups Read the case Select a Strategy to meet the needs of the case Then select a tool and an activity Discuss with your group the outcomes you would hope to see in the activity Be prepared to discuss

  22. Reminders You can’t impose social networking, you can only encourage it Social networks are not social learning; they a central element of it Social learning is another instructional design tool, applicable in some situations but not all There are well defined strategies, tools, and activities you can use to create opportunities for social learning
