| 30-Mar-2010 | WEBINAR - Social Learning series. Session 2: Social learning tools and platforms |
| Social learning landscapes are achieving results in the organizational
learning context that more expensive controlled learning systems have
failed to deliver. By integrating social software, organizations can
generate powerful learning networks which create a platform that
extends from simple individual actions, to links that connect people
for a common learning goal, to connecting learners with others beyond
the boundaries of their current learning contexts. The Social Learning series is program of 5 webinars that aims to provide an overview of social learning in organisational contexts, while additionally providing some basic "How-To's" for setting up social software implementations. Session 1: What is Social learning? • Where does it sit in the eLearning context? • Who uses social learning? • Why use social learning? • Is it applicable to organisational learning situations Session 2: Social learning tools and platforms Blogs, wikis, RSS and more! This webinar reviews current technologies and their application in a social learning context. • What do I use and when? • Is it secure? • Guidelines for selecting appropriate tools Session 3: Designing social learning It's not about the technology - it's about the learning. • The underpinning principles of social learning theories • What sort of courses / content is most appropriate? • How do I re-configure existing content? • Do I need still need a facilitator? Session 4: Creating and maintaining social learning networks The social learning network is designed to augment group interactions and create shared spaces for collaboration, social connections and aggregated information. • User-experience design - how to apply it • How to design action-oriented processes • Building an architecture of participation Session 5: Evaluating social learning Both the formal learning outcomes and the social networking results demonstrate a significant positive impact for the organisation. • How do you measure social learning outcomes? • How do you evaluate formal learning outcomes in a social learning context? • How do to report the results to the business? The webinar platform utilised for this series is provided by CiscoWebex  Presented by Anne Bartlett-Brag, PhD candidate, MEd (Adult Ed), BEd (Adult Ed), Dip HRM, Dip e-Learning, Cert IV TAA. Anne specialises in the creation of innovative communication networks and learning environments with social media.

Session 4: Creating and maintaining social learning networks The social learning network is designed to augment group interactions and create shared spaces for collaboration, social connections and aggregated information. • User-experience design - how to apply it • How to design action-oriented processes • Building an architecture of participation Session 5: Evaluating social learning Both the formal learning outcomes and the social networking results demonstrate a significant positive impact for the organisation. • How do you measure social learning outcomes? • How do you evaluate formal learning outcomes in a social learning context? • How do to report the results to the business?

| ADVANCED FACILITATION SKILLS Designed for experienced trainers who want to extend existing skills and take their training effectiveness to the next level Are you finding that your learners rely on you for all the answers? Do you have difficulty managing the behaviour of some groups or individuals? Would you like to be more successful at structured activities like games, role plays and case studies?
